Preface
General
The B737 Performance Section contains performance data for the operation
of American Airlines B737 aircraft. This Performance Section is separate
from the Operations Manual in that it has its own log of pages, revision
record, and bulletins. It consists of the following sub-sections in Volume I of
the B737 Operations Manual:
• TPS – Explanation and procedures for takeoff using TPS.
• Loading – Explanation on TPS Weight & Balance Section and Load
Closeout.
• Takeoff – Takeoff data including thrust settings and V-speeds. Also
contains information for takeoff on wet runways and runways
contaminated by standing water, slush, snow, or ice.
• Cruise – Thrust setting data, cruise data, and buffet margin speeds.
• Landing – Thrust setting data, maximum landing weights, and advisory
landing information.
• Emergency / Abnormal – Data for enroute engine loss and operations
with landing gear extended.
• Tables and Conversions – Various conversion data.
• FAR Performance – General explanation of takeoff, enroute, and landing
performance. Also includes various explanations on performance issues.
• Appendix - Contains Takeoff Card.

Page Color
Data specific to the -NG (3AA - 3PX) is on blue colored pages, and -MAX 8
(3RA - 3VM) on yellow colored pages.

Interpolation
Except as listed below, interpolation is required when using tables in this
Performance Section. Interpolation carried out by mental computation is
sufficient.
Interpolation is not required:
• When ranges of values are shown on the table as the input parameter.
For example, the V-speeds table shows ranges for both altitude and
temperature. For these parameters, interpolation is not allowed.
However, the takeoff gross weight, on the V-speeds table, is not shown
as ranges. One must interpolate the takeoff gross weight to determine
the V-speeds.
• When the resulting value is conservative. For example, if one is
determining a maximum operating weight, and interpolation will only
result in a heavier weight, interpolation is not required if the lighter weight
is sufficient.

Introduction
Takeoff Performance Data
The Takeoff Performance System (TPS) is the primary source of takeoff
data. For most operations, the TPS will provide all necessary data. In some
situations, TPS data is used in conjunction with Information located in the
Performance Section of the Operating Manual.

Takeoff Performance System (TPS)


TPS provides thrust settings, flap settings, V-speeds and Airport Analysis
data for takeoff. TPS interfaces with other systems within SABRE such as
the Load Planning System (LPS) for weight and balance data, and the Flight
Planning System (FPS) for fuel requirements. The term “TPS” also refers to
the cockpit paperwork (or departure plan). It is based on the planned takeoff
weight, planned temperature and pressure altitude (estimated for departure
time) and the runways in use (up to 5). TPS is used in conjunction with the
load closeout, to ensure compliance with takeoff requirements.
TPS data is organized into four sections:
• HEADER
Contains general information listing the flight number, date, aircraft
number, station, etc.
• THRUST / V-SPEED DATA
Contains all the necessary takeoff data for most takeoffs. It shows thrust
and v-speeds based on the planned takeoff weight.
• AIRPORT ANALYSIS DATA
Contains maximum weight information for the selected runways. This
data can be used to verify some of the calculations shown in the
THRUST / V-SPEED DATA, or, in some situations, be used alone in
conjunction with the data in this manual to determine the necessary
takeoff data. Because this section only shows data for a limited
temperature range, it cannot be used to determine the Assumed
Temperature (AT) for standard thrust takeoffs.
• WEIGHT AND BALANCE DATA
Contains preliminary weight and balance data. A description of this
section is shown in the Loading section.
Following this introduction is a complete description of the TPS output.
10.2 PERFORMANCE - TPS
3 OCT 17 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

TPS Calculation Process


TPS has two modes of operation during the planning process. First it
determines the maximum takeoff weight and passes it to the Load Planning
System (LPS). After a planned load is established, TPS computes the takeoff
data for each runway, based on the planned takeoff weight, and generates
the output to the flight crew.
1. MTOW Calculation
SABRE generates the TPS by first calculating the Maximum Takeoff
Weight (MTOW) for the primary runway (first runway listed on the TPS)
based on Climb, Runway, and Structural Weight Limits for the given
ambient conditions at 26K for the -NG (27K if applicable) or TO for the
-MAX 8 thrust. Enroute and Landing Limited Weights are also checked
when generating the MTOW.
This MTOW is internal to the load planning system (not shown on the
TPS) and is used by the load planner. This is not the same MTOW that
appears on the departure plan (TPS). See the TPS description for an
explanation of the MTOW on the TPS.
2. PTOW Calculation
A Planned Takeoff Weight (PTOW) is generated using aircraft EOW,
payload, and fuel information available from the Load Planning and
Flight Planning Systems.
3. Check PTOW against MTOW
TPS confirms that PTOW does not exceed MTOW for the primary
runway. The “primary” runway is the runway being planned for takeoff
based on winds and other operational conditions and is the first runway
displayed on the TPS. If PTOW exceeds MTOW for all flap settings on
the primary runway, the Load Agent must take some action which may
include selecting another primary runway, utilizing available headwinds,
or restricting payload. If PTOW is less than MTOW, the following logic is
used in selecting thrust, flap settings, and BLD configuration.
4. Thrust Rating
TPS selects the lowest thrust rating (22K, 24K, 26K, or 27K for -NG, or
TO2, TO1, or TO for the -MAX 8) that can accommodate the ATOW, on
the primary runway (the first runway shown in the Thrust / V-speed
section). All of the data on the TPS for all runways is based on this
Thrust Rating.
5. Flap Selection
Flaps 5 is selected unless another flap setting will result in a takeoff
thrust reduction of at least 0.2 percent N1 lower, compared to flaps 5. If
none of the flap settings allow standard thrust, TPS reverts to maximum
thrust, BLD ON and selects flaps 5, unless flaps 5 cannot accommodate
the PTOW. Then it will select the flap setting that will accommodate the
PTOW. If PTOW is still too heavy, and 26K or 27K (TO for the -MAX 8)
thrust was selected, the system performs another check to select the flap
setting with BLD OFF.
The flap setting determined for the primary runway is used for all other
runways.
10.3 PERFORMANCE - TPS
10 JUL 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

The flap setting specified by TPS does not preclude the flight crew from
requesting or using a different flap.
On secondary runways (other than the first runway), if an asterisk (*)
appears next to the flap setting, it indicates that another flap setting
would be more advantageous for this runway. If using a secondary
runway for departure that has an asterisk, consider requesting new TPS
data for that runway.

Takeoff Thrust Ratings


The -NG engines have four levels of takeoff thrust, 22K, 24K, 26K, and 27K
Bump. The -MAX 8 has three, TO2, TO1, and TO. Each of these is certified
as full takeoff thrust. Company policy is to use the lowest thrust rating
necessary to accommodate the takeoff weight. This does not prohibit the
captain from exercising his / her judgment and use a higher thrust rating.
Exception: Other than SNA, 27K Bump thrust may only be selected, for
pre-authorized routes, and only when 27K Bump Thrust is needed to carry
the payload.
For all takeoffs a TPS is required for the thrust setting selected for use. This
will confirm N1 is within 0.5% of the selected thrust rating. This requirement
is to ensure proper bleed and pack configuration.
Uplinked Data
TPS uses the primary (first) runway to determine the optimum thrust rating.
Then all of the data on the TPS for all of the runways is based on this one
thrust rating.
When takeoff data is uplinked into the FMC, TPS recalculates the data for
each runway and determines the optimum thrust rating for each runway. In
the uplink, the thrust rating for each runway is sent along with the thrust and
V-speed data. It may not necessarily use the same thrust rating for all
runways uplinked. Therefore, if a runway is assigned other than the primary
runway, the uplinked thrust rating may be different than the thrust rating on
the TPS. The crew must request a new TPS for the uplinked thrust rating, to
ensure N1 is within 0.5% of the new TPS.
Any runway (not just the primary runway) on the TPS may be used without
obtaining another TPS provided all performance parameters are satisfied. A
new TPS is only required if an uplinked thrust setting is different than the TPS
in use. This requirement is to ensure proper bleed and pack configuration.
Maximum Takeoff Thrust
Maximum Takeoff Thrust (MAX) is the maximum takeoff thrust based on
pressure altitude and temperature for each thrust rating, 22K, 24K, 26K, 27K
Bump, TO2, TO1, or TO. Takeoff thrust is shown only for BLD ON for 22K,
24K, TO2, and TO1 thrust. It is shown for both BLD ON and OFF for 26K,
27K Bump, and TO thrust.
10.4 PERFORMANCE - TPS
10 JUL 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Standard Takeoff Thrust


Standard Takeoff Thrust (STD) is a certified method to lower the thrust used
during takeoff to reduce engine wear and extend engine life. The method
used on the B737 utilizes an assumed temperature to compute the takeoff
thrust.
TPS uses the Assumed Takeoff Weight (ATOW) to determine a maximum
temperature for each combination of runway and flap that will accommodate
the ATOW. The maximum temperature is the Assumed Temperature (AT)
which is used for calculating a Standard Thrust setting. The AT is shown for
each runway where Standard Thrust is authorized.
Standard thrust is used with each of the thrust ratings, except 27K Bump
thrust.
Use of Standard Thrust for takeoff is not authorized:
The following require Maximum Takeoff Thrust, but may be used with any
thrust rating (22K, 24K, 26K, TO2, TO1, or TO):
• With a tailwind.
• If actual takeoff weight (GW on Takeoff Page 1/2) exceeds Assumed
Takeoff Weight (ATOW). However, a new TPS may be obtained which
authorizes Standard Thrust at the takeoff weight.
• With MEL / CDL items containing a takeoff weight correction UNLESS
takeoff data is automatically corrected by TPS (TPAS), or MEL/CDL item
prohibits standard thrust.
• If Engine Anti-ice is used and the TPS THRUST/V-SPEED section does
not indicate ANTI-ICE ON.
• Whenever takeoff data is used from the (Contaminated Runway
Correction/MEL) CRC/MEL message for an MEL/CDL item.
The following require Maximum Takeoff Thrust at the 26K, 27K Bump, or TO
rating:
• When using Improved Performance.
• When the runway is contaminated by standing water, slush, snow, or ice.
• If windshear is reported or expected, including windshear advisories.
Use a takeoff flap setting of 5, 10 (-MAX 8 only), or 15 unless limited by
obstacle clearance and / or climb limit.
• When FM-II Airport Advisory requires Maximum Thrust.
27K Bump thrust always requires the use of max thrust; standard thrust is
prohibited.
NOTE
It is the Captain’s responsibility to ensure that no condition exists that
prohibits use of standard thrust even though it appears on the TPS.
Flaps 25
For the -NG, takeoff data for flaps 25 will only be available for 26K or 27K
Bump thrust. TPS will limit flaps 25 to Max Thrust only, no Standard Thrust.
For the -MAX 8, takeoff data may be available for all thrust ratings, and may
be used with standard thrust.
10.5 PERFORMANCE - TPS
10 JUL 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

27K Bump Thrust (other than SNA)


27K Bump thrust is only available for a limited number of takeoffs. Its usage
is limited to pre-authorized routes, and only when 27K Bump Thrust is
needed to carry the payload.
As 27K Bump thrust will be available for takeoffs in these situations,
outside of these the crew must not select it without dispatch and load
agent concurrence.

TPS Weight Limit Data


Takeoff Climb (CLIMB) and Runway (RWY) limiting weights are computed
for each airport and runway by Operations Engineering. This data is loaded
into the TPS system as tables and is used by TPS to determine maximum
weight and maximum assumed temperature.
Maximum weights are computed based on airport elevation, runway length,
runway slope, takeoff obstructions, and temperature. Corrections to this data
are calculated for pressure altitude and wind. Generally, the takeoff
performance requirements are based on the worst case scenario of an
engine failure just before V1. A discussion of the takeoff performance
requirements are shown in the FAR Performance section.
Takeoff shall only be made from a runway for which airport analysis information
is available. If cleared to takeoff from a longer portion of a TPS designated
runway, data for the shorter portion (intersection takeoff) may be used.

Takeoff Obstructions
The obstructions used to determine the maximum takeoff weight are based
on a straight-out departure, or, if a special engine-out departure procedure is
specified, along that flight path. Also, obstructions are only analyzed up to
the end of the takeoff acceleration segment.
In the event of an engine failure after V1, the only area in which obstruction
clearance is assured is along the extended runway centerline, or, if there is
a special engine-out departure procedure, along the special procedure flight
path. If it becomes necessary or desirable to turn out of this corridor,
the pilot must assure obstruction clearance.

Improved Performance
There are several FAA approved methods that can be used to increase
takeoff weights above basic performance levels. These are referred to as
Improved Performance and are used to accommodate payload. The primary
concept of Improved Performance for the B737 is "Improved Climb". This is
a technique to simply increase V-speeds to increase the climb gradient. The
improved climb gradient is then used to increase takeoff weight or to meet
obstacle clearance requirements. More background information on Improved
Performance is located in the FAR Performance section.
If Improved Performance is required, the message IMP WT, IMP xxTW, or
IMP xxHW will appear in the AT column, on the RWY line, in the Thrust /
V-speed section. If Improved Performance is authorized, the limit weight (the
lighter of TPS computed CLIMB and RWY limits) will be shown in an
IMPROVED PERFORMANCE field in the Airport Analysis Data section.
10.6 PERFORMANCE - TPS
10 JUL 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Only one maximum weight is shown for each runway in the Improved
Performance portion of the Airport Analysis Data section on the TPS. This
one limiting weight is the lighter (most limiting) of the Improved Performance
runway and climb limits, for the runway.
Improved Performance data is shown in the Airport Analysis section for
reference only. Improved Performance data may only be used if it
appears in the Thrust / V-speed section of the TPS for the applicable
runway. The V-speeds are adjusted from the normal speeds, and the thrust
V-speed section is the only source of Improved Performance speeds.
Improved Performance data will only be available for 26K, 27K Bump, and
TO takeoff thrust.
Limitations for use of Improved Performance:
• Improved Performance is prohibited with MEL / CDL items containing a
takeoff weight correction UNLESS takeoff data is automatically corrected
by TPS (TPAS), or MEL/CDL item permits Improved Performance.
• Runway must not be covered with snow, slush, ice, or standing water.
• Takeoff with tailwind is only allowed if the data in the Thrust / V-speed
section of the TPS are based on the tailwind.
• Maximum Thrust at 26K, 27K Bump, or TO thrust rating is required.
Standard Thrust or 24K, 22K, TO1, or TO2 is not permitted.
• V-speeds from the Performance Section or FMS QRH shall not be used
(Improved Performance V-speeds can only be generated by TPS).
• If the takeoff weight exceeds the PTOW by more than 2000 lbs (but not
heavier than MTOW) and Improved Performance is required, another
TPS must be obtained since Improved Performance V-speeds can only
be generated by TPS.
When takeoff weight is less than PTOW, the respective Improved
Performance V-speeds may be used, or if time permits, request a new TPS,
or enter the Airport Analysis Data section of the TPS and determine if the
takeoff weight can be accommodated without Improved Performance. If it
can, use QRH V-speeds or calculate V-speeds from the tables in the Takeoff
section.
If the temperature is hotter than planned, the V-speeds in the Thrust /
V-Speed section may still be used provided:
• The temperature is not hotter than 2°C above the planned temperature.
• The takeoff weight does not exceed the PTOW by more than 2000 lbs.
And,
• The takeoff weight does not exceed the Improved Performance
maximum takeoff weight shown in the Airport Analysis section
If the current temperature is above Plan TEMP by more than 2°C, new
takeoff data must be obtained by ACARS or voice call.

1( Assumed Temperature (AT). This is the temperature at which the ATOW


equals the more restrictive of the Climb and Runway / Obstacle limit weight for
the specific runway. The AT is used to calculate the standard thrust N1
settings, and is valid as long as takeoff weight (TOW) is less than or equal to
the ATOW.
When standard thrust is not authorized for a particular runway, one of the
following messages will appear in this field.
MAX-WT Weight is too heavy for Standard Thrust for the thrust rating
shown at the top of the TPS (22K, 24K, 26K, 27K Bump, TO2,
TO1, or TO) or, AT is within 2°C of OAT.
IMP-WT Improved Performance is required to accommodate the PTOW.
V-speeds are based on Improved Performance. Improved
Performance is only used with the 26K, 27K Bump, or TO thrust
rating and will be indicated at the top of the TPS.
MAX xxTW Load Agent has planned for xx knots of tailwind for the primary
runway and any parallel runway. Data is valid up to this tailwind.
If 26K, 27K Bump, or TO thrust is selected, BLD OFF will be
selected automatically.
MAX xxHW Load Agent has planned for xx knots of headwind for the primary
runway and any parallel runway. Data is based on the selected
headwind. If 26K, 27K Bump, or TO thrust is selected, BLD OFF
will be selected automatically.
The Load Agent is only allowed to use up to half of the reported
headwind component, unless the captain authorizes (in
coordination with dispatch) the load planner to use the full
headwind component as determined by the captain.
IMP xxTW Load Agent has planned for xx knots of tailwind for the primary

20.5 PERFORMANCE - TPS
19 JUL 17 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

MAX-PNLT Either the MEL/CDL item requires Max Thrust for takeoff, or the
Dispatcher has manually adjusted the MTOW to the primary
runway. Data is based on the thrust rating shown at the top of
the TPS (22K, 24K, 26K, 27K Bump, TO2, TO1, or TO). BLD
OFF will be selected automatically if 26K, 27K Bump, or TO
thrust is selected.
NOTE
If the Dispatcher manually adjusts the MTOW (D suffix on
MTOW), TPS V-speeds will not be adjusted, the flight
crew is responsible for any adjustments.
MAX-SPCL MAX thrust required by company policy for either the runway or
flap setting. This is usually for noise abatement procedures or
other special operational requirements. See FM Part II airport
advisory page for more information.
2) Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) in 1000 lbs. Note: This is the maximum
weight for the conditions (flap setting and BLD configuration) specified. It may
be possible to obtain a heavier maximum weight by changing the flap setting,
BLD OFF, or thrust rating.
The letter suffix identifies the limiting condition. They are as follows:
T MTOW is limited by CLIMB or RWY Limits
S MTOW is limited by STRUCT WT LIMIT
L MTOW is limited by landing weight limit, the Maximum Landing Weight at
the destination airport plus the planned fuel burn.
A MTOW is limited by CLIMB or RWY Limits which have been adjusted for
BLD OFF, or the load agent has planned a headwind / tailwind. BLD will
always be OFF with a wind adjustment, if available for rating.
D Dispatcher has manually adjusted MTOW for primary runway due to
runway conditions or other performance decrement. Note: TPS V-Speeds
are not adjusted.
E Dispatcher has limited MTOW due to enroute considerations (e.g.
driftdown, depressurization, fuel)
X MTOW is based on Improved Performance (may be preempted by S or L,
verify with message in the Assumed Temperature field)
20.6 PERFORMANCE - TPS
10 JUL 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

2! Runway Messages. One of the following runway messages will appear if TPS
cannot compute takeoff data for the runway.
PTOW EXCEEDS MTOW ALL FLAPS
For the Thrust Rating shown on the top of the TPS, the planned takeoff weight
(PTOW) is too heavy for all available flaps.
It may be possible to takeoff at a higher thrust rating. Request a new TPS for
the runway. If a takeoff is possible at a higher rating, it will return a valid TPS.
If TPS is already using 26K, 27K Bump, or TO thrust, the aircraft is too heavy
for takeoff on this runway.
PTOW EXCEEDS MTOW - RQST NEW TPS
For the Thrust Rating and Flap setting, the planned takeoff weight (PTOW) is
too heavy. It is possible to takeoff at the thrust rating shown on the TPS, but
not the flap setting selected.
Request a new TPS for the runway (it will optimize the flap setting for this
runway), or if unable to request new TPS ...
Compute data from the airport analysis section, if possible. See “Manual
Takeoff Calculation” on page 30.7.
FLAP N/A THIS RWY - RQST NEW TPS
TPS does not have any data for this Thrust Rating and Flap for this runway.
Request a new TPS for the runway (it will optimize thrust rating and flap setting
for this runway), or if unable to request new TPS ...
Compute data from the airport analysis section, if possible. See “Manual
Takeoff Calculation” on page 30.7.
WIND ADJT-CALL LOADS OR COMPUTE DATA
The load agent has input a headwind or tailwind for the primary runway. TPS
will only compute data for the primary runway, or any parallel runway. All other
runways will have this message in the Thrust / V-speed section.
A parallel runway is defined as a runway with a designation ± 1. For example,
if the primary runway is 17, runways 16 and 18 are considered parallel along
with all Left, Center, Right, and any intersections.
Either contact the load agent, compute the data yourself using the airport
analysis data, or request an ACARS TPS. Unless the load agent changes the
wind adjustment to the desired runway, the ACARS TPS will return data for
that runway without wind adjustments.
To compute data from the airport analysis section, see “Manual Takeoff
Calculation” on page 30.7.
20.7 PERFORMANCE - TPS
10 JUL 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

PERF PNLT - CALL DISP OR COMPUTE DATA


The dispatcher has manually adjusted the MTOW (D suffix on MTOW). This is
usually done for a contaminated runway.
TPS will lock flap setting, thrust rating, and BLD OFF (if available for thrust
rating).
Either, contact dispatch and have primary runway changed and request a new
TPS, or compute data using the airport analysis data. To compute data using
the airport analysis see “Manual Takeoff Calculation” on page 30.7.
If the restriction is due to a runway contaminated by standing water, slush,
snow, or ice, a CRC/MEL (Contaminated Runway Correction/MEL) message
will show the appropriate max weight and v-speed data. Use max thrust for the
thrust rating shown.
2@ Airport Notes. This section will contain remarks regarding TPS data for
intersection takeoffs. It will also display any SIGMECS entered by the
dispatcher.

TPS Engine Anti-ice Corrections


When Engine Anti-ice is used for takeoff, there is no reduction to the takeoff
thrust setting, N1. However, there is a small reduction in takeoff thrust due to
the additional bleed air, and a corresponding small reduction in runway, and
climb limited takeoff weight.
Wing Anti-ice is not used for takeoff.

Temperature Colder than 15°C


If the temperature on the TPS is colder than 15°C, the AIRPORT ANALYSIS

if maximum weight is desired, request a new TPS from dispatch.
Standard Thrust
If the THRUST V-SPEED section indicates ANTI-ICE ON, standard thrust
may be used with the Engine Anti-ice ON for takeoff. Otherwise, check the
AIRPORT ANALYSIS section to compute Climb and Runway limits
(including the Anti-ice corrections) to determine max takeoff weight, and use
maximum thrust. Standard thrust may not be used unless the THRUST /

If Improved Performance data is available for any of the runways shown on
the TPS, the Airport Analysis Data section will show the Improved

Improved Performance data if the PTOW requires it. An example is shown
below.
Only RWY limit data is shown because this contains both the runway /

Performance may only be used if it appears in the Thrust / V-Speed section
of the TPS.
If the load agent enters a planned wind component for the primary runway,
the Improved Performance weights for the primary and any parallel runway
will be based on this wind, and the wind will be shown below the Improved

ACARS TPS Format


A TPS can be obtained via ACARS Takeoff Data entry. See OM Vol I
Systems for details of the entry. Note: Entering a flap setting of “99” or blank
allows TPS to search for a flap setting that may permit the use of standard
thrust if possible.
The ACARS TPS format is similar to the normal TPS, except for the
following:
• Data and Airport Notes are provided only for a single runway.
• If the load agent entered a head or tail wind, the weights and speeds will
be adjusted for the primary runway (or any parallel runway) on the
original TPS. Any other runway will not be adjusted for winds.
• Due to printer and paper width limitations, additional lines are needed for
runway data and Airport Notes. If MAX thrust is required, the appropriate
MAX thrust message will replace the AT value on the second line of
ACARS data. See legend of runway messages in the TPS Description in
this section.
“UNABLE TO COMPUTE TPS” Message
ACARS may return the message - UNABLE TO COMPUTE TPS FOR
FLAPS XX TEMP XX RWY XXXX for the following reasons:
• Takeoff weight is too heavy for the flap/runway/temperature combination
requested. Try a different flap. Request a new TPS. If unable to obtain a
new TPS use the airport analysis data, see “Manual Takeoff Calculation”
on page 30.7.
• Flap setting requested is not available for the requested runway.
• Dispatch has adjusted the MTOW for an MEL, CDL, or contaminated
runway condition. The only flap and runway available is that shown on
the original TPS. All other runway and flap data are “locked out.” Contact
dispatch.
UPLINKED DATA
The FMS QRH V-speeds can only be used for a runway and flap combination
that is in the available TPS airport analysis section. This includes intersection
departures.
If a runway and flap setting other than the ones listed in the available Airport
Analysis section is desired, a TPS must be requested for the departure RWY
with the desired flap setting. After this TPS data is inserted, the FMS QRH
V-speeds may be used if V-speed modification is required.

10 JUL 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

TPS Variations
MEL/CDL Adjustments
Some MEL/CDL items require adjustments to the takeoff performance data.
These are handled in one of three ways:
• TPAS (Takeoff Performance Adjustment System)
• CRC/MEL (Contaminated Runway Correction/MEL) Program
• Manual calculation
Normally the TPAS will be used. MEL items with large adjustments will
require the use of the CRC/MEL. The manual calculation can be used as a
back-up.

Takeoff Performance Adjustment System (TPAS)


TPS will automatically adjust the TPS takeoff data for MEL/CDL items
entered by the Dispatcher. This is known as TPAS (Takeoff Performance
Adjustment System).
This only affects how the takeoff performance is computed. It does not
change any other MEL/CDL procedures and does not involve MEL/CDL
penalties for enroute or landing.
If the Dispatcher enters an MEL/CDL item in TPS for the flight, it will:
• Automatically adjust the takeoff performance data for MEL/CDL items.
All data (thrust, weights, speeds, & assumed temperature), including the
Airport Analysis section, for all runways on the TPS will be adjusted.
• Maximum Thrust is only required if the MEL/CDL item specifically states
that Maximum Thrust is required. If this is the case, TPS will plan max
thrust and indicate “MAX-PNLT” in the assumed temperature column.
• If maximum thrust is not required by the MEL/CDL item, but is needed to
accommodate the planned takeoff weight, it will show “MAX-WT” in the
assumed temperature column.
• Use the normal Thrust Rating, Flap selection, and BLDs On/Off logic.
• If more than one item is listed, all of the corrections are cumulative.
A “D” suffix shown as the limiting condition on the MTOW indicates the
dispatcher manually computed the maximum takeoff weight, and v-speeds
are not adjusted. In this case. the flight crew must make any v-speed
adjustments. For more information, see the next section titled Contaminated
Runway and Manual Performance Adjustments.
TPS Format
If the Dispatcher enters an MEL/CDL item in TPS, the following additional
information will be shown on the TPS (see sample on next page):
• A banner across the top of the TPS will state; “PERFORMANCE
ADJUSTMENTS MADE BY TPAS”.
• Below the header information is a section labeled “TPS PERFORMANCE
ADJUSTMENTS”. This section will list the MEL/CDL item(s) used by TPS to
correct the performance data, and any dispatcher remarks.

CRC/MEL (Contaminated Runway Correction/MEL) Program


Takeoff data (maximum weights and V1) for MEL/CDL items with large
performance penalties is calculated by a program contained in the
dispatcher’s workstation. A description of the output to the flight crew is
shown below. This system is outside of TPS and cannot update data on the
TPS printout.
This program is only used for particular identified MEL/CDL items. The
MEL/CDL will state in the (O) procedure “MEL performance weight
adjustments are not provided through TPS. Dispatch will provide a CRC/MEL
performance correction message.”
The dispatcher will run this program and provide the flight crew with the MEL
corrected runway data for up to five runways displayed on the TPS. The
output will be sent to a Sabre printer, or to the aircraft via ACARS. V-speeds
on the CRC/MEL message do not uplink to the FMC.
This is the same program used for contaminated runways, and can calculate
data based on both a wet or contaminated runway and an MEL/CDL item
simultaneously.
Use maximum 26K, 27K Bump, or TO thrust as shown in the “RTG” field and
V-speeds from the CRC/MEL Message.
If the actual takeoff weight exceeds the PTOW by more than 2000 lbs,
request new data from dispatch.
CAUTION
The actual takeoff weight cannot exceed the MTOW for the runway
shown on the CRC/MEL Message.
The MTOW on the CRC/MEL message does not observe the MTOW
limited by Landing. If the TPS indicates an MTOW with an L suffix,
this limit must also be observed.

10 JUL 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Contaminated Runway and Manual Performance Adjustments


In the event, the dispatcher deems it necessary to restrict the max takeoff
weight, to a weight lighter than TPS would calculate, the Dispatcher can
manually determine the MTOW and enter it in TPS (D suffix on MTOW).
This is usually done for contaminated runways because TPS does not
automatically account for contaminated runways. But also can be used in
other circumstances to manually restrict the MTOW. If there is any question,
contact dispatch.
NOTE
The dispatcher cannot adjust the V-speeds in TPS if the MTOW is
manually entered (D suffix on MTOW). It is the responsibility of the
flight crew to make the appropriate adjustments, if required.
However, for a contaminated runway, the dispatcher can provide
V-speeds on the CRC/MEL Message. But these speeds will not be
shown on the TPS.
The manually adjusted MTOW is only valid for the primary (first) runway and
the conditions and configurations used by the dispatcher. Therefore TPS will
lock flap setting, thrust rating, and BLD OFF (if available for thrust rating).
TPS is affected as follows:
• TPS THRUST / V-SPEED section will display data for the primary
runway only. Data for all other runways is inhibited because the MTOW
for those runways has not been adjusted. PERF PNLT - CALL DISP
OR COMPUTE DATA will appear in lieu of data.
Use of another runway and / or flap requires MTOW computations to be
made manually to the RWY and CLIMB limits from the airport analysis
section, and either QRH v-speeds or v-speeds from the tables in the
Takeoff section. See “Manual Takeoff Calculation” on page 30.7.
• Flap setting and thrust rating will be locked. The dispatcher will manually
set the flap setting and thrust rating. The flap setting and thrust rating
logic in TPS will be bypassed.
• Max Thrust will be required. MAX-PNLT will be displayed in the
assumed temperature field for the primary runway.
• TPS will default to BLD OFF. However, BLD ON may be used if adjusted
MTOW is within the BLD ON RWY and CLIMB limit weights (see
“Manual Takeoff Calculation” on page 30.7). If thrust ratings 24K, 22K,
TO1, or TO2 is used, data will be based on AC ON because BLD OFF
does not exist for these thrust ratings.
• MTOW will be suffixed with a “D” for the primary runway, indicating it has
been manually adjusted by the dispatcher.
• ACARS Takeoff Data requests will be limited to the primary runway and
flap setting shown on the TPS. A request for any other runway or flap will
receive the response UNABLE TO COMPUTE TPS FOR FLAPS XX
TEMP XX RWY XXXX. If necessary, contact dispatch.
30.6 PERFORMANCE - TPS
10 JUL 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Wind Adjustments
The Load Agent may issue a TPS with an MTOW that has been adjusted for
a planned tailwind or up to half of the reported headwind. The captain may
authorize (in coordination with dispatch) the load agent to use the full
headwind component as determined by the captain.
When a wind adjustment is made by the load agent, the TPS is affected as
follows:
• TPS THRUST / V-SPEED section will display data for the primary
runway and any parallel runway. Data for all other runways will be
inhibited because MTOW for those runways has not been adjusted for
winds. WIND ADJT- CALL LOADS OR COMPUTE DATA will appear
in lieu of data.
• Any runway with a designation within ± 1 is considered parallel (i.e.
runways 17 and 18 are considered parallel).
• Max Thrust will be required. MAX will be displayed in AT field for the
primary runway xxHW or xxTW will be display the planned headwind or
tailwind in the assumed temperature field.
• TPS will default to BLD OFF. However, BLD ON may be used if the
adjusted MTOW is within the BLD ON RWY and CLIMB limit weights
(see Manual Takeoff Calculation). If thrust ratings 24K, 22K, TO1, or
TO2 is used, data will be based on BLD ON because BLD OFF does not
exist for these ratings.
• ACARS Takeoff Data requests for any runway other than the primary
runway (or a parallel runway) on the original TPS, will not include the
wind adjustment. This adjustment must be made manually to the request
if the conditions require it.

Unplanned Tailwind Takeoff


If taking off with a tailwind and the TPS is based on a headwind or zero
wind, use one of the following two methods to compute the takeoff data,
unless improved performance is required. If improved performance is
required, use method 2.
Method 1 - Manual Tailwind Takeoff Data:
• Use Max thrust for the Thrust rating.
• Check the Airport Analysis data on the TPS to confirm the takeoff weight
is not heaver than the max allowable takeoff weight. Multiply the tailwind
correction by the value of the tailwind, and subtract this from the zero
wind max weight for the runway.
• Use FMC QRH V-Speeds after entering wind, slope, and runway
condition on FMC TAKEOFF REF 2/2 page, or
• Lookup V-speeds in the Takeoff Chapter, using actual temperature and
correct V1 for tailwind.
Method 2 - Request a TPS based on the tailwind from Dispatch and use that
data for takeoff.
NOTE
A TPS based on a tailwind will always use Max thrust.
30.7 PERFORMANCE - TPS
10 JUL 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Manual Takeoff Calculation


TPS will lock in a runway, flap setting, thrust rating, and BLD OFF (if
available), when performance adjustments are made by the dispatcher or
load agent. It may be desirable to compute takeoff performance based on a
different runway, flaps, BLD ON, or wind component.
If this is the case, the flight crew may use data in the TPS AIRPORT
ANALYSIS section.
• If temperature is hotter than 2° C from planned, request a new TPS.
• Determine maximum weight from the CLIMB and RWY limits. If needed,
correct for tailwind, MEL/CDL and / or engine anti-ice.
• Use QRH V-speeds or look up V-speeds in the Takeoff section.
• Use maximum takeoff thrust for the thrust rating. If the TPS planned
temperature is valid, use takeoff N1 from the TPS. Otherwise, look up
takeoff N1 in the Takeoff section.
The data in the airport analysis section of the TPS will be based on the thrust
rating shown in the header section. If another thrust rating is desired, request
a new TPS.
NOTE
This procedure cannot be used with Improved Performance because
the corresponding V-speeds cannot be determined. If the actual
takeoff weight requires Improved Performance, request a new TPS.

Temporary Airport Analysis


When a situation temporarily reduces the runway / obstacle (RWY) limited

runway (e.g. partial runway closures, obstructions located in close vicinity to
an extended runway centerline, etc.).
If a TAA is issued for a runway, the following information is displayed on the

When Weight and/or Temperature Differs from the Plan


If Standard Thrust is Planned
The standard thrust setting is generated using the ATOW. Therefore, when
TPS is calling for standard thrust, actual takeoff weight (GW from takeoff
page 1/2) must be checked against ATOW as well as MTOW on the TPS.
Also, actual temperature must be checked against Assumed Temperature
(AT) figures on the TPS.
NOTE
It is the Captain's responsibility to ensure that no condition
exists that prohibits use of Standard Thrust even though it
appears on the TPS.
If Max Thrust is Planned
Maximum Thrust provided by TPS is based on planned temperature. Manual
adjustments to Max Thrust settings are not required since the FMC adjusts
Max Thrust for actual temperature. However, RWY and CLIMB limit weights
must be checked when temperature rises. Likewise, takeoff weight must be
checked against MTOW and the PTOW since V-speeds are based on
PTOW.
The QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE on the following pages summarizes the
requirements for obtaining new thrust and V-speed data when takeoff weight
and / or temperature differs from TPS.
30.9 PERFORMANCE - TPS
10 JUL 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

If Standard Thrust is Planned by TPS, but Maximum Thrust is Required by a


Limitation
• If the limitation does not have a weight penalty, these include:
- Windshear is reported or expected, including windshear advisories.
- FM-II Airport Advisory requires Maximum Thrust.
Then, if the takeoff weight does not exceed the ATOW and the actual
temperature does not exceed the AT, no further check of maximum
weight is necessary. Use maximum 26K, or TO thrust and FMS QRH
V-Speeds. Use of any thrust rating other than the thrust rating on the
current TPS requires a new TPS.
• If the limitation has a takeoff weight penalty, these include:
- A tailwind.
- The runway is contaminated by standing water, slush, snow, or ice.*
- Takeoff weight (TOW) exceeds Assumed Takeoff Weight (ATOW).
And, a new TPS is not obtained which authorizes Standard Thrust at
the takeoff weight.
- With MEL / CDL items containing a takeoff weight correction and
takeoff data is not automatically corrected by TPS. Do not use QRH
V-speeds.
- Whenever takeoff data is used from the CRC/MEL message.
- If Engine Anti-ice is used and the TPS THRUST/V-SPEED section
does not indicate ANTI-ICE ON.
Then, the takeoff weight must not exceed the maximum takeoff weight
using the Airport Analysis data incorporating any applicable weight
penalties. Another thrust rating may be required. Use maximum thrust for
the thrust rating on the TPS (or 26K or TO if required) and select FMS
QRH V-speeds. Standard thrust V-speeds on the TPS may not be valid.
Use of any thrust rating other than the thrust rating on the current TPS
requires a new TPS.
* If the restriction is due to a runway contaminated by standing water,
slush, snow, or ice, or an MEL/CDL item that uses the CRC/MEL
program, a CRC/MEL message will show the appropriate max weight
and V-speed data. Use 26K, 27K Bump, or TO max thrust, whichever is
listed on the CRC/MEL message.

Introduction
General
This chapter contains information and descriptions of loading data used by
the flight crew.
The Load Planning System (LPS), a system within DECS, is the primary
system for computing aircraft weight and balance as well as checking to
ensure the aircraft is within weight and c.g. limits. This system works in
concert with TPS and the Flight Planning system to coordinate weight and
fuel loading.
The primary output to the flight crew is the:
• TPS Weight and Balance Data
• Load Closeout
Both of these outputs are described on the following pages.

Stab Trim Setting


Takeoff Stab Trim Setting tables, in this section, are used as a back-up or
verification of the stab trim information.

The following is an explanation of the items contained on the TPS WEIGHT


AND BALANCE section.

b Weight breakdown of the planned load in lbs.


EOW Empty Operating Weight - equal to aircraft empty weight plus
operating items including operating crew members listed on the
crew manifest (CA, FO, XO, FA plus bags), buffet equipment,
cargo containers, cabin equipment, residual fuel, engine oil,
potable water, and chemical fluids. The Load Agent may adjust
EOW for operating items that are heavier or lighter than
standard. Deadheading crew members are not accounted for in
the EOW.
PSGR WT Passenger weight - the weight of adult passengers (including
carry-on bags and infants under 2), children 2 thru 12 years of
age (if a child count is taken), and cockpit (W) and cabin (X)
jumpseat riders. Average adult passenger weights vary with
geographical region and season. If a child count is taken, a child
weight is used, otherwise adult weights are used. Infants are
accounted for in passenger carry-on baggage weight allowance.
Jumpseat riders on the flight crew namelist are included in the
EOW and will not show up as W or X riders.
CGO WT Cargo weight - combined weight of the checked baggage, mail,
and freight.
BALLAST Weight of ballast fuel. Only used when MEL item requires
unusable fuel to be loaded.

C.G Restrictions with Low Passenger Count


Certain passenger seating configurations can result in the TOW C.G. and /
or the ZFW C.G. to be driven out of limits. This typically occurs when the
Coach Class passenger count is less than 55 with a full First Class
passenger load. When this occurs, the Load Planners will execute an EOW
Exception Code that will restrict the seating of passengers in certain Coach
Class rows, either the first 4 rows or the first 8 rows.

Procedures
The Load Planner procedures for this situation are:
1. Turn off the auto radio closeout function.
2. Contact the gate agent with instructions regarding which rows must
remain empty.
3. Contact the #1 flight attendant and advise that no passengers should be
moved into the blocked rows for the duration of the flight.
4. Advise the Captain with a free text message appended to the Load
Closeout similar to the following:
"DUE TO EOW AND/OR ZFW C.G. LIMITATIONS, THE FIRST (4 or 8)
ROWS OF COACH MUST REMAIN EMPTY FOR THE DURATION OF THE
FLIGHT."
The Captain will ensure the F/A #1/Purser is familiar with the seating
restriction and that this restriction applies for T/O, enroute, and landing.

3 OCT 17 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Introduction
General
Takeoff data in this section is identical to the data computed by TPS and may
be used for manual computations, verification of TPS data, or in lieu of some
TPS data if it is not available. A description of TPS is in the TPS section. A
discussion on takeoff performance is in the FAR Performance section.

Thrust Ratings
The CFM56 on the -NG has four thrust ratings for takeoff; 22K, 24K, 26K, and
27K Bump. The LEAP-1B on the -MAX 8 has three thrust rating for takeoff;
TO2, TO1, and TO. Takeoff thrust and V-speeds are specific to the thrust
rating used. These pages are labeled for the applicable thrust rating and
aircraft.
Other than takeoff at Santa Ana, Ca. (SNA) airport, 27K Bump on the -NG is
limited to pre-authorized routes, and only when 27K Bump thrust is needed
to carry the payload.
As 27K Bump thrust will be available for takeoffs in these situations, outside
of these the crew must not select it without dispatch and load agent
concurrence.
For the -NG, use 26K at SNA unless 27K Bump is needed to carry the
payload. 27K takeoffs are not limited at SNA. However, AA policy is to use
26K when payload permits.
For the -MAX 8, takeoffs at SNA will be limited to the TO thrust rating.

Thrust Settings
Maximum Takeoff Thrust settings are provided for each of the thrust ratings
based on BLD ON. N1 adjustments for BLD OFF are shown only for the 26K,
27K Bump, and TO ratings. No BLD OFF adjustments are listed for 22K,
24K, TO2, or TO1 ratings because the next higher rating should be used if
more thrust is required. No thrust setting correction is necessary for Engine
Anti-Ice ON.
Other thrust setting data is located in the following sections:
• Go-Around Thrust – Landing
• Maximum Climb Thrust – Cruise
• Maximum Cruise Thrust – Cruise
• Maximum Continuous Thrust – Emergency / Abnormal

Speeds
There are three sources of takeoff V-speeds:
• TPS
• FMS QRH
• Performance Section tables
10.2 PERFORMANCE - TAKEOFF
10 JUL 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

TPS V-speeds
V-speeds are shown in the Thrust / V-speed section of the TPS. These
speeds are also uplinked into the FMC TAKEOFF REF page 1.
TPS V-speeds must always be adjusted for contaminated runways and if the
dispatcher manually enters a max weight (D suffix on MTOW). MEL/CDL
items that are corrected by TPAS do not require any further adjustments.
If the TPS speeds are not uploaded or need to be adjusted, it is preferred that
they be entered by selecting the FMS QRH speeds, unless prohibited by the
section “FMS QRH V-speeds may never be used.”
Utilization of FMS QRH V-Speeds
The FMC QRH V-Speeds may only be used after the Load Closeout is
received and data accepted (uplinked or manually input).
The QRH V-speeds may only be used if correct V-speeds did not up-link or
there is a need to change V-speeds.
The conditions that would require the V-speeds to be changed
include:
• Tailwind - Requires Max Thrust at the Planned Thrust Rating, e.g. 22K /
24K / 26K / 27K / TO2 / TO1 / TO. Check airport analysis.
• Takeoff weight exceeds ATOW for a planned Standard Thrust takeoff
- Requires Max Thrust at the Planned Thrust Rating.
• Takeoff weight exceeds PTOW by more than 2000 lbs, for a Planned
Maximum Thrust takeoff - Check the Airport Analysis Data and use Max
Thrust at the Planned Thrust Rating.
• Engine anti-ice used and not corrected for by TPS - Requires Max Thrust
at the Planned Thrust Rating. Request new TPS or check airport
analysis.
• Windshear is reported or expected - Requires 26K Max Thrust (27K at
KSNA or other airports with a planned 27K TPS), or TO. If able, use flaps
5, 10 (-MAX 8 only), or 15 for takeoff.
FMS QRH V-speeds may never be used for:
• Improved Performance (only TPS V-speeds can be used)
• Contaminated Runways (only V-speeds from a CRC/MEL message can
be used), or
• Any MEL/CDL item with V-speed corrections. Only V-speeds corrected
by TPS or manually corrected can be used.
• EECs in Alternate mode.
10.3 PERFORMANCE - TAKEOFF
10 JUL 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Use the following procedure to select the FMS QRH V-speeds:


N1 LIMIT Page
• If max thrust is required, DELETE the SEL temperature [1L].
• Select the appropriate thrust rating 22K, 24K, 26K, 27K Bump, TO2,
TO1, or TO.
• Other than KSNA, 27K may only be selected if authorized (do not
request it through the ACARS).
TAKEOFF REF Page 2
• Enter ATC reported wind [1L]
• Verify or enter runway slope [2L] from the TPS Airport Analysis
section.
• Select runway condition [1R]
- DRY - dry runway
- WET - wet runway that is not grooved or PFC
- SK-R (skid resistant) - wet runway that is grooved or PFC
TAKEOFF REF Page 1
• Select QRH ON [6R]
• Select the QRH speeds into the active fields [1R - 3R]

Performance Section V-speed tables


V-speeds (V1, VR, V2) are tabulated for each takeoff flap setting and
minimum maneuvering speeds. V-speed tables may be used for manual
computations or to verify TPS or FMS QRH speeds by entering the table with
the pressure altitude, PTOW and actual temperature (if Max Thrust is
planned) or assumed temperature (if standard thrust is planned).
V-speeds must be adjusted for runway slope, tailwind, contaminated
runways, and if the dispatcher manually enters a max weight (D suffix on
MTOW). V1 must be manually adjusted for headwind if a weight credit is
taken for the headwind.
Minimum V1 (VMCG) is provided to ensure compliance with minimum control
speed requirements. These must be checked when manually computing
V-speeds.
Stall speeds are provided for reference.

Authorized Takeoff Flap Settings


737-NG: 1, 5, 15, or 25
737-MAX 8: 1, 5, 10, 15, or 25
Notes
Flaps 10 is certified for takeoff on the -NG, but not used by American Airlines.
Data for all of the authorized flap settings are not necessarily loaded into TPS
for all thrust ratings. Only data for the needed flap setting are loaded into
TPS.
10.4 PERFORMANCE - TAKEOFF
10 JUL 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Short Field Performance (SFP) Package


Aircraft 3LC thru 3PX have a “Short Field Performance (SFP) Package”
installed. The package consists of sealed leading edge slats (on takeoff only
for improved lift) and increased flight spoiler deflection on the ground. This is
noted on the TPS header. Make the listed corrections when manually
computing the V-speeds from this section.

Operations on Contaminated Runways


Contaminated runway conditions may necessitate weight and / or V1
adjustment. A contaminated runway, as referred to in this section, is a
runway contaminated by snow, slush, ice, or standing water.
TPS does not adjust weights or speeds for contaminated runways. Dispatch
may restrict the MTOW on the TPS (D suffix on MTOW), however, V-speeds
must always be adjusted by the flight crew. For runways contaminated by
standing water, slush, snow, or ice, V-speeds from the CRC/MEL message
(message from dispatcher) must be used.
NOTE
For a contaminated runway, FMS QRH or manually computed
corrections by the flight crew are not authorized.
In the Contaminated Runway section is a brief explanation of various runway
conditions which may require performance adjustments, the adjustments
and procedures for applying them, and the assumption used in calculating
the adjustments. The information is provided to assist the Captain in making
a distinction between different runway conditions and deciding when to apply
the adjustments.

SPAR (Systems Performance Adjustments Reference) Matrix


Use the SPAR Matrix to determine takeoff legality for listed procedures and
/ or conditions.
Even though the matrix may authorize the performance condition / procedure
pair, the captain and dispatcher assessment will determine whether or not
the performance condition / procedure pair is acceptable.
Some examples of how this matrix can be used are:
Authorized. If you have engine anti-ice on, can you takeoff with a 6 knot
tailwind? Enter the row “engine anti-ice ON” and move to the column “with a
tailwind?”  is displayed indicating this is an authorized procedure under the
given conditions.
Not Authorized. If you are using windshear precautions, can you takeoff
with Standard Thrust? Enter the row “windshear precautions” and move to
the column “using Standard Thrust?” "NO" is displayed indicating this is not
an authorized combination of condition / procedure
Conditionally Authorized. Some authorizations have conditions. If you
have engine anti-ice on, can you takeoff using standard thrust?  is
displayed. The ballnote states: Provided ANTI-ICE ON message appears
below the TPS Thrust / V-Speed header.
Multiple Conditions / Procedures. When multiple conditions / procedures
are present, all combinations must be authorized and considered acceptable
by the captain. Consult with dispatcher if necessary to gain additional
information.
10.5 PERFORMANCE - TAKEOFF
10 JUL 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Example: Can you takeoff with engine anti-ice ON (icing conditions), on a


contaminated runway, and windshear precautions?
Enter the row “engine anti-ice ON” and move to the columns “on a
contaminated runway?”, and “using windshear precautions?”  is displayed
in each box indicating engine anti-ice can be used under the given
conditions.
Enter the row “a contaminated runway” and move to the column “using
windshear precautions?”  is displayed indicating a contaminated runway is
authorized under the given conditions.
In this example, all conditions are authorized. Whether or not it is acceptable
depends on the assessment of the conditions (e.g., a 12,000 ft. runway with
a windshear conditions is very different than a 6000 ft. runway with
windshear conditions).

V1 speeds that fall in the shaded area on the V-speeds table must be
compared to VMCG. Use the following steps:
1. Make any applicable corrections shown above.
2. Compare calculated V1 with VMCG (Minimum V1). Use the faster as V1.
3. If V1 was increased to VMCG in Step 1., and VR is now slower than V1,
increase VR to new V1.
4. If VR was increased in Step 2., increase V2 by the same amount that VR
was increased.
NOTE
If V1 is reduced for a wet runway, compare corrected V1 to VMCG,
regardless of the shaded area on the V-Speeds table.

Note: Based on Bleeds Off condition at 100,000 lb. gross weight.

V1 speeds that fall in the shaded area on the V-speeds table must be
compared to VMCG. Use the following steps:
1. Make any applicable corrections shown above.
2. Compare calculated V1 with VMCG (Minimum V1). Use the faster as V1.
3. If V1 was increased to VMCG in Step 1., and VR is now slower than V1,
increase VR to new V1.
4. If VR was increased in Step 2., increase V2 by the same amount that VR
was increased.
NOTE
If V1 is reduced for a wet runway, compare corrected V1 to VMCG,
regardless of the shaded area on the V-Speeds table.

V1 speeds that fall in the shaded area on the V-speeds table must be
compared to VMCG. Use the following steps:
1. Make any applicable corrections shown above.
2. Compare calculated V1 with VMCG (Minimum V1). Use the faster as V1.
3. If V1 was increased to VMCG in Step 1., and VR is now slower than V1,
increase VR to new V1.
4. If VR was increased in Step 2., increase V2 by the same amount that VR
was increased.
NOTE
If V1 is reduced for a wet runway, compare corrected V1 to VMCG,
regardless of the shaded area on the V-Speeds table.

Maximum Takeoff Weight Corrections


Maximum Takeoff Weight Corrections
Normally the Dispatcher or Load Agent enters the information into TPS for
takeoff performance corrections (wind and MEL/CDL items); TPS makes the
applicable corrections.
The Maximum Allowable Takeoff Weight Computation Form is on the
following page. It can be used:
• For instances in which the crew or Dispatcher manually adjusts the
MTOW to apply performance corrections. In this case, use of this form is
optional.
• As a reference to follow and understand the logic TPS uses when
making corrections.
For wet runways or runways contaminated by standing water slush, snow, or
ice, see the wet or contaminated runway data sections.

Anti-ice Corrections
Climb limited and runway limited maximum takeoff weight corrections are
shown on the TPS in the Airport Analysis Data section whenever the
temperature is colder than 15°C. These corrections are also provided below.

19 JUL 17 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Takeoff on Wet Runways


Introduction
Takeoff performance will be degraded by operating on a wet runway. This
will require a correction to V1 and may affect maximum takeoff weight, and/or
Assumed Temperature.
A runway is considered wet when it is neither dry nor contaminated, but has
visible moisture (including damp), and/or water 1/8 inch or less in depth. The
Captain will decide if the runway must be considered wet.
Refer to Takeoff on Runways Contaminated by Standing Water, Slush,
Snow, or Ice for operations on runways other than dry or wet surface
conditions.

Limitations – Wet Runway


If a runway is considered wet, the following limitations apply:
• The TPS header must specify "WET."
• If a thrust reverser is inoperative, the MEL penalty for an inoperative
thrust reverser on a wet runway must be applied.

Takeoff Performance Data


Takeoff on runways with a wet surface condition requires TPS data labeled
in the TPS header as "WET." The dispatcher will set the TPS code for either
dry or wet runway surface conditions. If the TPS specifies a dry runway, and
the runway is wet, request the dispatcher to change the TPS code to a wet
runway and obtain a new TPS. If the runway is dry, it is permissible to takeoff
with data based on a wet runway.
When “WET” is specified in the TPS header, all of the data on the TPS,
including the airport analysis is based on a wet runway.

Runway Surface
The performance data for wet runways are divided into two runway surface
conditions. One condition is based on a runway without a special skid
resistant surface. The second surface condition is a runway with a
skid-resistant surface. This is defined by a runway that is either grooved or
has a porous friction course overlay (PFC).
If the runway is listed as grooved or PFC under Additional Runway
Information on the Jeppesen airport page or NOTAM, the data for
skid-resistant runways is used.
Runways listed only as wire combed may not use the skid resistant surface
data.
TPS will internally use the appropriate data and normally no action
concerning the runway surface is necessary, unless FMS QRH V-speeds are
used, or when looking-up the V-Speeds in this section. When using FMS
QRH V-speeds, ensure the appropriate runway surface is selected on
TAKEOFF REF Page 2 in the FMS.
210.2 PERFORMANCE - TAKEOFF
19 JUL 17 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

TPS Request
When requesting a TPS via ACARS, the runway condition entered into the
FMC is ignored. The request will return a TPS based on the runway surface
conditions (DRY or WET) specified by the dispatcher.
220.1 PERFORMANCE - TAKEOFF
10 JUL 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Takeoff on Runways Contaminated by Standing Water,


Slush, Snow, or Ice
Introduction
Takeoff performance is degraded when operating on runways contaminated
by snow, slush, ice, or standing water. This requires a reduction in Runway
Limited Takeoff Weight and an adjustment to the V1 speed. Because of large
variations with contaminated runways, the captain must use the takeoff
performance data in conjunction with good pilot judgment. Definitions and
assumptions included in the data are listed to assist in determining the
appropriate performance data.
A runway should be considered contaminated when more than 25 percent of
the required field length, within the width being used, is covered by:
• Standing water, slush, or wet snow deeper than 1/8 inch (3 mm),
• Dry snow deeper than 1 inch (25 mm),
• Compacted Snow, or
• Ice.
In certain situations it may be appropriate to consider the runway
contaminated. For example, if the section of runway surface is covered with
standing water or slush where rotation and liftoff will occur, or during the high
speed part of the takeoff roll, the retardation effect will be far more significant
than if it were encountered early in the takeoff.
The captain will decide on the appropriate application of contaminated
runway data.

Operational Limitations - Contaminated Runways


If a runway is contaminated, as defined above, by standing water, slush,
snow, or ice:
• Takeoff is not authorized with a tailwind.
• Takeoff is not authorized with more than ½ inch of wet snow, slush, or
standing water, or more than 4 inches of dry snow.
• Maximum 26K, 27K Bump, or TO thrust, whichever is listed on the
CRC/MEL message, must be used. 22K, 24K, TO2, TO1, or Standard
thrust at any rating is not authorized.
• Anti-skid system must be operative.
• Both thrust reversers must be operative.
• Use of Improved Performance is not authorized.
• Takeoff is not authorized with chunks of hardened snow or ice.
• FMS QRH V-speeds may not be used.
220.2 PERFORMANCE - TAKEOFF
19 JUL 17 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Data Usage and Procedures


The data is divided into ten types/levels of contamination. Use the
appropriate data for the runway condition.
• ¼ inch of standing water.
• ½ inch of standing water.
• ¼ inch of slush.
• ½ inch of slush.
• ¼ inch of wet snow.
• ½ inch of wet snow.
• 2 inches of dry snow.
• 4 inches of dry snow.
• Compacted snow.
• Ice.
Standing water, slush, or wet snow - For accumulations deeper than 1/8
inch up to and including ¼ inch, use the data for ¼ inch. For accumulations
deeper than ¼ inch, but not over ½ inch, use the data for ½ inch.
Dry Snow - Accumulations 1 inch or thinner is not considered contaminated.
For accumulations deeper than 1 inch up to and including 2 inches, use the
data for 2 inches of dry snow. For accumulations of dry snow deeper than 2
inches, but not over 4 inches, use the data for 4 inches of dry snow.
Ice - If braking action is reported nil, takeoff is not authorized.
It is recommended to use flaps 15 for takeoffs on contaminated runways to
minimize the takeoff speeds. Try using flaps 15 first, and if the maximum
weight is insufficient, then try another flap setting.

Definitions and Assumptions


Below are brief definitions of runway conditions and assumptions used in
calculating the performance adjustments as they differ from normal dry
runway performance. It is intended to assist the Captain in making a
distinction between runway conditions and deciding when to apply
contaminated runway data.
Standing Water is characterized by a wet runway having major areas of
measurable depths due to heavy precipitation and/or insufficient runway
drainage. Performance adjustments are available for ¼ and ½ inch depths.
Takeoff is not authorized in depths above ½ inch due to the possibility of
structural damage.
Slush is saturated snow which is typically encountered at temperatures
above 5°C. Slush will splatter when stepped on. Performance adjustments
are available for ¼ and ½ inch depths. Takeoff is not authorized in depths
above 1/2 inch due to the possibility of structural damage.
Wet Snow is defined as snow which compacts (forms a snowball). It is
typically encountered at temperatures between -5°C and 0°C. Performance
data is available for ¼ and ½ inch depths. Takeoff is not authorized in depths
above ½ inch due to the possibility of structural damage.
220.3 PERFORMANCE - TAKEOFF
10 JUL 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Dry Snow is loose snow which cannot be compacted by hand. Takeoff is not
authorized with over 4 inches of dry snow due to the possibility of structural
damage.
Compacted Snow is snow that has been compressed, but is not slick. A
typical friction coefficient ( is 0.2.
Ice is a runway covered with hard frozen precipitation. Ice conditions
generally forms when snow is either heavily compacted or refreezes after
melting.
Assumptions The contaminated runway correction data uses the following
assumptions as the basis of the calculation:
• The runway is completely covered by a uniform layer of contamination.
• Wheel braking effectivity is 25% of that on a dry runway. Except ice data
uses a friction coefficient (of 0.05.
• Thrust reverser on remaining engine is used during a rejected takeoff.
• Additional drag due to contaminant impingement on the aircraft. Except
ice and compacted snow data does not have impingement drag.

Maximum Weight and V1 Calculation


Takeoff performance data (maximum weights and V1) for takeoffs from
contaminated runways is calculated by a program contained in the
dispatcher’s workstation. A description of the output to the flight crew is
shown on the following page. This system is outside of TPS and cannot
update data on the TPS printout.
At the captain’s request, the dispatcher will run this program and provide the
flight crew with the contaminated runway data for the five runways displaye
d on the TPS. The output will be sent to a Sabre printer, or to the aircraft via
ACARS. The flight crew must contact dispatch and request the data.
V-speeds on the CRC/MEL message do not uplink to the FMC. Use
maximum thrust for the thrust rating shown and set the V-speeds from the
CRC/MEL message.
This is the same program used for some MEL/CDL items. And, can calculate
data based on both a wet or contaminated runway and an MEL/CDL item
simultaneously.
Do not use FMS QRH V-speeds.
Normally the dispatcher will select BLD ON. If it is necessary to maximize the
weight, request BLD OFF if desired.
Because of the uncertain nature of contaminated runways, operations will
require close coordination between the flight crew, dispatch, and the load
agent. If the runway conditions change or if the actual takeoff weight exceeds
the PTOW by more than 2000 lbs, request new data from dispatch.
CAUTION
The actual takeoff weight cannot exceed the MTOW for the runway
shown on the CRC/MEL message.
The MTOW on the CRC/MEL message does not observe the MTOW
limited by Landing. If the TPS indicates an MTOW with an L suffix,
this limit must also be observed.

23 JUL 14 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Introduction
General
The primary source for cruise information is the Flight Plan and FMS. The
data in this section is used for verification or in lieu of data from these
sources, if it is unavailable.
The information contained in this section is valid for two engine cruise in
normal configuration. Data for single engine cruise or gear down cruise is
located in the Emergency / Abnormal section.

Maximum Climb and Cruise Thrust


Maximum Climb and Maximum Cruise Thrust setting tables are provided.
These tables should match the settings shown in the FMC. Adjustments are
provided to account for BLD and Anti-ice configurations.
Maximum Continuous Thrust setting information is located in the Emergency
/ Abnormal section.

Altitude Capability and Buffet Speeds


Two factors limit altitude capability, Engine Thrust Limit and Aerodynamic
Buffet Margin Limit. The maximum cruise altitude will be the lower of the two
limits
Engine Thrust Limit is the maximum altitude at which the engine thrust
available is greater than the aircraft drag at the specific speed. Two
considerations are given:
• Capability to climb to cruise altitude at Maximum Climb Thrust.
• Capability to maintain cruise altitude at Maximum Cruise Thrust.
Both of these criteria are combined into the one table labeled “Engine Thrust
Limited.”
Aerodynamic Buffet Margin Limit provides a margin expressed as a load
factor or “g’s”. This buffet margin is the load factor the wing could support
before reaching low or high speed buffet. Altitude capability is shown for two
levels of buffet margin.
• 1.3g for smooth air to moderate turbulence.
• 1.5g for moderate turbulence or greater. The increase in buffet margin
provides additional protection against gusts. Use of the greater buffet
margin is left to the judgement of the flight crew.
The FMC observes both the Engine limited and Buffet Margin limited altitude
capability. For the Buffet Margin limit, it only observes 1.3G.
The Flight Planning System will observe both the engine thrust and
aerodynamic buffet margin limits. Normally it will observe a 1.3g buffet
margin. If “Moderate to Occasional Severe” turbulence is forecast
(turbulence indicator 5), it will observe a 1.5g buffet margin and plan the
cruise speed at the turbulence penetration speed. Severe or Extreme
turbulence (turbulence indicator 6 or 7) blocks that route.
10.2 PERFORMANCE - CRUISE
23 JUL 14 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Climb Thrust
The FMC provides two prescheduled reduced climb thrust selections on the
N1 limit page. Selecting Climb 1 or 2 will reduce the climb N1 3% for Climb 1
and 6% for Climb 2 (approximately 10% and 20% thrust reduction). Reduced
climb thrust may also be automatically selected by the FMS depending upon
the amount of thrust reduction made for takeoff. Climb thrust reductions are
automatically programmed to be “ramped out” by 15,000 feet during the
climb.

Cruise Information
Cruise information (N1 Required, TAS, CAS, and Fuel Flow) is located in a
series of tables based on selected cruise speed. The available cruise speeds
in this manual are:
• 250 / 320 Knot
• Mach .79
• Two Engine Max Range Cruise (Cost Index Zero)
The 250/320 knot cruise information is used for cruise at low altitude,
generally below 25,000 feet.
The Two Engine Max Range Cruise (MRC) table is provided to determine the
cruise speed with the highest fuel mileage. Cruising at a speed slower than
MRC will decrease fuel mileage and increase time.

Cruise Speed
The flight planning system utilizes many inputs to determine the best cruise
speed for a given flight. Fuel burn, crew costs, aircraft maintenance costs,
forecast wind, and scheduled flight time are some of the major
considerations. Unless these conditions change from the time the flight plan
was generated, fly at the cruise speed shown on the flight plan.
If the actual cruise altitude is significantly lower than the planned altitude, fly
the FMS Econ speed based on the Flight Plan Cost Index.

Cruise Altitude
The flight planning system will determine the best cruise altitude based on
costs, scheduled flight time and forecast winds. Unless other conditions
dictate or change, fly the planned altitude.
The cruise tables indicate the optimum altitude (shaded boxes). This
indicates the altitude in which the specific range at zero wind is the greatest.
To determine the actual optimum altitude, the wind must be considered. If the
wind is more advantageous at an other altitude, use the wind / altitude trade
logic in the FMS or hand calculation to determine the best cruise altitude.

Fuel Mileage
The actual fuel mileage is monitored for each aircraft from the engine
condition readings. This fuel mileage is used to factor the fuel burn on the
flight plan and is shown on the flight plan output as fuel bias. Adjust the fuel
flow and specific range data from the FMS and performance charts by this
factor. Increase the fuel flow for a positive bias and reduce fuel flow for a
negative bias. For example, a bias of P02.2 indicates that the fuel flow from
the charts should be increased by 2.2%.

Holding Information
The Two Engine Holding chart contains holding fuel flow (per engine) and
recommended holding speed for various altitudes and gross weights. The
fuel flow rate is based on Packs ON, standard day, gear and flaps retracted,
and holding in a standard racetrack pattern. Recommended holding speed is
the minimum drag speed.

Dispatch Over Areas of High Terrain


The Dispatch Over Areas of High Terrain section explains the Flight Plan
driftdown data for dispatch.
For enroute operations following an actual engine failure, use the data from
the Emergency / Abnormal Performance section.

Table Use
These tables show speeds at which initial buffet will occur. For each weight
and altitude both low speed and high speed values are shown by Mach
number and IAS.
The upper two numbers in each box is the low and high speed Mach number.
The lower two numbers are the low and high speed IAS.
NOTE
Do not use these charts to determine altitude capability, use cruise
charts.
Speeds in Italics are faster than VMO and / or MMO of 340 Kts / M .82

Dispatch Over High Terrain


Introduction
In order to comply with Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR 121.191), flight
plan routes are analyzed to ensure enroute terrain clearance is satisfied in
the event of an engine failure. This dispatch rule is summarized as:
• The aircraft single engine altitude capability must be 1000 feet higher
than the tallest obstruction within 5 miles of the intended track, or
• The aircraft must be capable of single engine driftdown from the most
critical point to an enroute alternate airport. The drift-down profile must
clear all obstructions, within 5 miles, by 2000 feet vertically. The enroute
alternate airport(s) must meet alternate airport criteria and be declared
on the dispatch release.
At dispatch, one of the two criteria must be met. To ensure a margin of
conservatism, a decrement is applied to the actual performance of the
aircraft when computing altitude capability and driftdown profile. The data
used by the Flight Planning system has the appropriate performance
decrements built in. For more information on these regulations, see the FAR
Performance section.
The flight planning system will first check compliance with the first criteria,
and if it is satisfied, will stop checking. If the first criteria cannot be complied
with, it will then do a driftdown analysis and designate enroute alternate
airports.
In the event of an actual engine failure, land at the nearest suitable airport
checking the terrain along the track to the airport. There is no obligation to
land at a declared enroute alternate airport.

Engine Failure Planning


The Flight Planning System logic evaluates enroute terrain and clearance
criteria for the route specified on the Flight Dispatch release. If there is a
terrain critical area impacting the planned route of flight, the maximum ramp
weights and minimum cruise altitudes will be specified in the header portion
of the flight plan. In some cases decision points and / or enroute alternates
will be displayed in the body of the flight plan. In this case maximum weights
and minimum altitudes will not be displayed in the header section. When
decision points and / or enroute alternates are specified, the weight upon
which the analysis is based can be determined by adding the “RWT” and the
“RAMP WT P XXXXX” values from the flight plan (located just above the fuel
block). If there is no “RAMP WT P XXXXX” the driftdown analysis is based
only on the “RWT.”
30.2 PERFORMANCE - CRUISE
29 JUN 17 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Flight Planning System


The Flight Planning System, evaluates engine-out terrain clearance between
the TOC and BOD based on the planned route, cruise altitude and aircraft
weight. The system does not evaluate terrain clearance between departure
station and a listed takeoff alternate or between the destination airport and
the first or second alternate.
For conservatism, the driftdown analysis is usually based on Anti-Ice ON. In
some circumstances, the drift-down analysis may be based on Anti-Ice OFF.
If for any reason the flight is planned with Anti-Ice OFF, the Flight Dispatcher
must obtain Captain’s verbal concurrence prior to departure.

Enroute Alternates
When listed enroute alternates appear in the body of the flight plan, terrain
clearance and fuel consumption to that alternate is accounted for provided
there are no deviations from the flight plan.
Enroute alternates may be on-line or off-line airports. All airports will be
authorized for B737 operations as listed in AAL Operations Specifications.
All enroute alternates listed on the flight plan will be checked for weather,
field conditions, and airport NOTAMs by the Flight Dispatcher. No enroute
alternate listed on the flight plan will be an airport where special crew
qualifications involving a check-ride are necessary.

MEL Enroute Weight Penalty


If the aircraft is dispatched with an MEL that requires an Enroute Weight
Penalty, the flight planning system will automatically incorporate the penalty
in the driftdown analysis.

Flight Plan Output


When terrain between departure and destination airport is at or below 6000
feet MSL, the system will print the following message in the header section
of the flight plan:
*** 1 ENGINE INOPERATIVE ENROUTE ALTERNATES ***
*** NOT REQUIRED *** NO TERRAIN ***

When terrain between departure and destination airport is above 6000 feet
MSL for the route of flight, the system either establishes; 1) “not to exceed
ramp weights” and “minimum cruise altitudes” or 2) provides decision
point(s) with or without enroute alternates.
30.3 PERFORMANCE - CRUISE
23 JUL 14 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

The following three flight plan headers establish “not to exceed ramp
weights” and “minimum cruise altitudes” for the filed route of flight. Deviations
from the Flight Plan, before or after brake release can be handled by
contacting Flight Dispatch.

Examples
*** 1 ENGINE INOPERATIVE ENROUTE ALTERNATES ***
*** NOT REQUIRED FOR RAMP WEIGHT AT OR BELOW 158996 LBS ***
** CRUISE ALT MUST BE AT LEAST 18000 FT **

Deviations from Flight Plan Before Takeoff


Deviations from the Flight Plan may involve aircraft weight, cruise altitude,
routing or any combination, when preparing to overfly mountainous terrain.
Deviations from the Flight Plan before takeoff are to be handled as follows:

Event Crew Action


* Actual Ramp Weight is heavier than * Advise Flight Dispatch “Ramp
“not-to-exceed” Ramp Weight in Weight is heavier than not-to-exceed
flight plan header section. ramp weight in flight plan header”,
and request the flight plan be
reanalyzed at the heavier weight.
The dispatcher will determine a new
“not to exceed” weight, decision
points, or enroute alternates as
appropriate.
* The flight plan shows decision * Advise Flight Dispatch and request
points, and the actual Ramp Weight the flight plan to be reanalyzed at the
exceeds RWT plus RAMP WT heavier weight.
PXXXX. The dispatcher will determine if
decision points / enroute alternates
remain valid at the heavier weight.
* ATC re-route and / or cruise altitude * Advise Flight Dispatch of the
change affecting terrain critical area. changes to the route and / or altitude,
and request the flight plan be
reanalyzed.
The dispatcher will determine if any
changes to “not to exceed weight,
decision points, or enroute alternates
are necessary.

10 JUL 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Introduction
General
This is the primary source of landing performance data. This section contains
thrust settings, speeds, maximum landing weight tables for dispatch, and
landing performance assessment data.
This section has two set of data for landing length requirements. The data
labeled “Runway Limited Maximum Landing Weight” are required to be
observed at time of dispatch. The landing data from the iPad® Landing app
or the tables in the Advisory Landing Data section are to be used at time of
actual landing for landing performance assessment. More information is
located in the Advisory Landing Data section.

Overweight Landing
Landing at a weight heavier than the maximum structural landing weight is
considered an “overweight” landing. See Flight Manual Part I for overweight
landing policy.
The maximum landing weights shown in this manual extend to weights
heavier than maximum structural landing weight. This provides data for
Overweight Landings.

Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO)


Landing data for Land and Hold Short Operations is located in FM Part II on
the airport advisory pages for the applicable airports.

Abnormal Configurations
When landing with abnormal configurations due to an in-flight failure, use the
Advisory Landing Distances for Abnormal Configurations tables in the QRH.

Maximum Quick Turn-Around Landing Weight


If the Maximum Quick Turn-Around Weight is exceeded, follow the
instructions with the table concerning a subsequent takeoff.

30 OCT18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Maximum Landing Weight for Dispatch


The Maximum Allowable Landing Weight for dispatch is determined by the
lighter of
• Climb Limited Landing Weight,
• Runway Limited Landing Weight, or
• Maximum Structural Landing Weight (AFM)
The Maximum Allowable Landing Weight Computation Form may be used to
compute the maximum landing weight. Use of this form is optional.
Climb Limited Landing Weight
• Enter the table with airport elevation and temperature and read
maximum landing weight.
• Apply the appropriate correction for use of Anti-Ice, and/or Ice Accretion,
if applicable.
Anti-Icing and Ice Accretion Corrections
When operating with Engine or Engine and Wing Anti-Ice ON, the Climb
Limited Landing Weight must be reduced, apply the Engine and Wing
Anti-Ice ON correction.
The Ice Accretion correction is intended to ensure the aircraft meets the
required AFM landing performance (Climb Limit), assuming the unheated
surfaces of the airframe are laden with an extreme accumulation of ice.
If moderate or severe icing will be encountered for at least 30 minutes of
duration, within the hour of flight prior to arrival, and the temperature at the
arrival airport is 10°C or colder, apply the ice accretion correction.
If both anti-ice and ice accretion corrections are applicable, the corrections
are cumulative (apply both).
Runway Limited Landing Weight
• Enter the table with the usable landing length and airport pressure
altitude, read maximum landing weight.
Usable Landing Length is the declared Landing Distance Available
(LDA) for the runway. Use the paved runway length unless a shorter
length is listed under “Usable Lengths Landing Beyond Threshold”
column on the Airport Diagram page in Flight Manual Part II. If the
“Landing Beyond Threshold” distance has a ball note with an LDA, use
the LDA listed in the ball note.
Do not use the length listed under “Usable Length Landing Beyond Glide
Slope” column (which describes the length past glide slope intersection
with runway).
If conditions warrant, a corrected usable landing length or a correction to
the usable landing length will be provided in a NOTAM, field conditions
report, or temporary airport analysis (TAA).
• Use appropriate Wet or Dry data depending on runway condition unless
low visibility requirement applies.
• Whenever the reported visibility is less than 3/4 mile (RVR 4000 ft), with
either a wet or dry runway, use runway condition WET. This is only
required at time of dispatch, not for in-flight landing computation.
• N/A (not authorized) indicates the runway is too short.
10.3 PERFORMANCE - LANDING
30 OCT18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

• Headwind - Weight in 1000 lbs per knot headwind which may be added
to the table weight
• Tailwind - Weight in 1000 lbs per knot tailwind which MUST be
subtracted from the table weight.
MEL / CDL Corrections
Weight and/or Usable Landing Length penalties for inoperative systems or
components are contained within affected MEL / CDL items. The penalties
are applied to the Climb Limited Landing Weight, Usable Landing Length,
and / or Maximum Allowable Landing Weight as specified in the Maximum
Allowable Landing Weight Computation Form. Use of this form is optional.
Field Elevation
The Climb Limit and Runway Limit charts are labeled “Pressure Altitude”. It
is acceptable to use Airport Field Elevation for Pressure Altitude.
Special Landing Analysis for Dispatch
Special landing analysis data based on wet/grooved landing performance is
published for Santa Ana, California (SNA / KSNA) for both the -NG and
-MAX 8.

19 JUL 17 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

If Landing Weight Exceeds Max Quick Turn-Around Weight


• If the actual landing weight is heavier than the Max Quick Turn-Around
Weight, and there is a crew change or termination, make an Info-Item
entry into the AML stating that the aircraft exceeded the Max Quick
Turn-around Weight and the IN time.
For example: “Info-Item, Exceeded Max Quick Turn-Around Weight, IN
Time 1347Z”.
• If the landing weight was heavier than the Max Quick Turn-Around
Weight, and there is no crew change, or the previous crew left an entry in
the AML, verify that the thermal plugs have not melted within 67 or more
minutes after parking at the gate.
• If a departure delay will result from waiting the 67 minutes, advise
dispatch.

60.1 PERFORMANCE - LANDING
3 OCT 17 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Advisory Landing Data


Landing Performance Assessment
The flight crew must confirm landing performance limits prior to landing using
the actual runway conditions at time of landing.
This assessment must take into account:
• The meteorological conditions affecting landing performance (airport
pressure altitude, wind velocity, wind direction, etc.),
• Surface condition of the runway to be used for landing,
• Approach speed,
• Airplane weight and configuration, and
• Planned use of airplane ground deceleration devices.
Make the assessment with the most current weather and runway conditions
as close as practical prior to beginning the approach.
Also, runway conditions can degrade or improve significantly in very short
periods of time dependent on precipitation, temperature, usage, and runway
treatment and could be significantly different than indicated by the last report.
Flight crews must consider all available information, including runway
surface condition reports and braking action reports.
The flight crew must use the most adverse reliable and appropriate
braking action report or the most adverse expected conditions for the
runway, or portion of the runway, that will be used for landing when
assessing the required landing distance prior to landing.
For example, if the braking action is reported as “medium for the first two
thirds of the runway and poor for the last third”, then “poor” braking action
must be used in computing required landing distance, because it is the most
adverse reported braking action. However, one must consider the following
factors in assessing runway condition reports:
• Age of the report,
• Meteorological conditions present since the report was issued,
• Type of airplane or device used to obtain the report,
• Whether the runway surface was treated since the report, and
• The methods used for that treatment.
Flight crews are expected to use good judgment in determining the
applicability of this information to their airplane's landing performance.

Runway Condition Assessment Matrix (RCAM)


The RCAM chart defines the various levels of braking action, and shows the
correlation with various runway surface conditions and runway condition
codes (RwyCC).

Inflight Landing Data


Obtain the most current meteorological and runway surface conditions prior
to conducting the Approach Briefing. Locate runway condition(s) in the
RCAM to help determine the expected landing braking action. Contact the
dispatcher if additional information is required.
Use the Inflight Landing data either from the iPad® Landing App or the charts
in this section, in conjunction with your pilot judgment, to determine the
required runway landing length.

Inflight Landing Data Computation


This section contains instructions and landing data to perform a Landing
Performance Assessment.
The primary means to compute the Landing Performance Assessment data
is by the iPad® Landing App. A backup method to compute the required
landing distance uses tables in this section. The data for both methods are
identical and the results should match.
The Landing Data is based on:
Expected landing distance, with reverse thrust, and a 15% margin.
- Manufacturer’s estimated landing distance plus 15% margin.
- Maximum Manual braking or use of Autobrakes (depending on table),
from touchdown to a full stop with normal reverse thrust.
- Includes 7 seconds at VAPP “air distance” from threshold to
touchdown.
- Included in the Landing Data are corrections for:
• VAPP = VREF + 5 knots
• 0.5 percent down slope
• Temperature (except for the manual charts).
Apply the following corrections (shown on the output and tables) to the
distance data, if applicable:
• VAPP faster than VREF + 5
• Tailwind
• Temperature (manual charts)
• No (or partial) Reverse Thrust
It is imperative to understand the criteria used in calculating these tables to
effectively use them in conjunction with good pilot judgment.
Special Short Runway Inflight Landing Data
For landing on short runways at certain airports, special inflight landing data
is available in the iPad® Landing App and tables in this manual. The tables
are located at the end of the inflight landing tables for each aircraft, -NG or
-MAX 8.
60.4 PERFORMANCE - LANDING
10 JUL 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Manual Computation
The Landing Data tables in this section are used as a backup to manually
compute the Required Landing Distance for the Landing Distance
assessment.
Chart use
1. Use the chart for the planned landing flap and planned braking method
(Maximum Manual or Autobrakes) and autobrake setting.
2. Enter the chart with airport Pressure Altitude and planned Gross Weight.
Move over to the column for the runway surface condition, read the
required landing distance.
3. Apply any applicable corrections shown at the bottom of the column.
Use the chart on PERFORMANCE - TABLES & CONVERSIONS 10.1 to
determine Head / Tail wind component. Correction is in feet per knot of
wind.
NOTE
The basic length from the table is based on VREF+5. The “Each 5kt
above Vapp,” corrects for the additional speed faster than VREF+5.
Add this correction for each additional 5 knots.
If operating with a MEL/CDL item that contains a landing runway correction,
apply the correction from the MEL/CDL.

30 OCT 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

-NG Special Inflight Landing Data


When landing on the following runways:
• Washington, National (DCA) - runway 01/19,
• New York, La Guardia (LGA) - all runways, or
• Boston, Logan (BOS) - runway 27
If the landing braking action is expected to be less than “good” (Rwy
Condition Code 5), use the data in the following chart or the B737 Land app
and select “Short Runways” in lieu of the generic inflight tables in this
manual. This data is based on “medium” braking action (Rwy Condition Code
3). If expected braking action is “medium to poor” (Rwy Condition Code 2) or
less, the runway is too short for landing.
Use of this chart requires touchdown within the first 1200 feet of the runway.
See Flight Manual Part II Operations Advisory (10-7) pages for information
on using the PAPI lights as a reference when the runway markings are not
visible (e.g. contaminated runway).
Table is based on:
• VAPP = VREF + 5
• Touchdown in first 1200 feet of runway. Required Landing Length
provides a 15% margin.
• 2 Engine reverse thrust
• Max Autobrake setting (Max Manual Braking may be used)

30 OCT 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

-MAX 8 Special Inflight Landing Data


When landing on the following runways:
• Washington, National (DCA) - runway 01/19,
• New York, La Guardia (LGA) - all runways, or
• Boston, Logan (BOS) - runway 27
If the landing braking action is expected to be less than “good” (Rwy
Condition Code 5), use the data in the following chart or the B737 Land app
and select “Short Runways” in lieu of the generic inflight tables in this
manual. This data is based on “medium” braking action (Rwy Condition Code
3). If expected braking action is “medium to poor” (Rwy Condition Code 2) or
less, the runway is too short for landing.
Use of this chart requires touchdown within the first 1200 feet of the runway.
See Flight Manual Part II Operations Advisory (10-7) pages for information
on using the PAPI lights as a reference when the runway markings are not
visible (e.g. contaminated runway).
Table is based on:
• VAPP = VREF + 5
• Touchdown in first 1200 feet of runway. Required Landing Length
provides a 15% margin.
• 2 Engine reverse thrust
• Max Autobrake setting (Max Manual Braking may be used)

-NG Gear Down Operations


General
The B737-NG is not approved for revenue operation with the known inability
to retract the landing gear.
The data in this section is provided in the event the landing gear fails to
retract. If the decision is made to fly to the destination or divert to another
airport, use this data in lieu of the flight plan and normal performance tables.
Included in this section are tables for:
• Fuel Burn and Time
This table gives a quick reference for the estimated fuel burn and time for
the entire flight with the landing gear extended. To use this data:
- Start with the Wind Correction table to determine the Air Distance.
- Enter the Fuel Burn and Time table to determine the fuel burn and
time for 130,000 Lb initial weight.
- Correct the fuel burn for weight using the weight correction table.
• Long Range Cruise
This table shows Mach No., TAS, Specific Range, and Fuel Flow per
engine based on cruising at Long Range Cruise speed. Use the Altitude
Capability chart to determine cruise altitude.
• Holding
This table shows Speed and Fuel Flow per Engine for holding in a
racetrack holding pattern.

FMC Data
Because the FMC does not incorporate a gear down position input, the
VNAV mode is not to be used during gear down operations. There is no
accountability for gear drag and no provisions for the FMC to generate climb,
cruise, or descent speed schedules or fuel predictions appropriate for gear
down flight. Use the tables in this section.

Ferry Flights
This data is also used for maintenance ferry flights planned to be operated
with the gear extended.
Takeoff with the known inability to retract the landing gear requires
corrections to the takeoff and landing performance. Apply the takeoff and
landing corrections shown on the following page.

-MAX 8 Gear Down Operations


General
The B737-MAX 8 is not approved for revenue operation with the known
inability to retract the landing gear.
The data in this section is provided in the event the landing gear fails to
retract. If the decision is made to fly to the destination or divert to another
airport, use this data in lieu of the flight plan and normal performance tables.
Included in this section are tables for:
• Fuel Burn and Time
This table gives a quick reference for the estimated fuel burn and time for
the entire flight with the landing gear extended. To use this data:
- Start with the Wind Correction table to determine the Air Distance.
- Enter the Fuel Burn and Time table to determine the fuel burn and
time for 130,000 Lb initial weight.
- Correct the fuel burn for weight using the weight correction table.
• Long Range Cruise
This table shows Mach No., TAS, Specific Range, and Fuel Flow per
engine based on cruising at Long Range Cruise speed. Use the Altitude
Capability chart to determine cruise altitude.
• Holding
This table shows Speed and Fuel Flow per Engine for holding in a
racetrack holding pattern.

FMC Data
Because the FMC does not incorporate a gear down position input, the
VNAV mode is not to be used during gear down operations. There is no
accountability for gear drag and no provisions for the FMC to generate climb,
cruise, or descent speed schedules or fuel predictions appropriate for gear
down flight. Use the tables in this section.

Ferry Flights
This data is also used for maintenance ferry flights planned to be operated
with the gear extended.
Takeoff with the known inability to retract the landing gear requires
corrections to the takeoff and landing performance. Dispatch will provide
appropriate takeoff and landing performance data.

Standard Atmosphere
The standard atmosphere is a hypothetical vertical distribution of temperature,
pressure, and density which by international agreement is taken to be
representative of the atmosphere for the purpose of altimeter calibration, aircraft
design, performance calculations, etc. The internationally accepted standard
atmosphere is called the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA).
Most of the enroute/cruise data is based on the standard atmosphere with
corrections for hotter or colder temperatures.

Introduction
General
This chapter contains reference information on performance regulations and
related performance issues. American Airline’s aircraft are certified by the
manufacturer under the performance requirements of FAR Part 25. These
performance requirements are only used to determine the operating
limitations, such as maximum operating weights, and do not necessarily
imply operating procedures. Even though there is no obligation to operate
under these certification rules, understanding these rules may be helpful to
comprehend the application of operating limitations.
The information in this chapter is not required for aircraft operation. The
inclusion of this material is only for the convenience of the flight crew and
dispatcher to assist in understanding performance limitations.
It is important to distinguish the difference between certification regulations
and operating requirements. FAR Part 25 contains regulations for certifying
aircraft. The manufacturer must adhere to these rules when determining
operating limits for the aircraft. Whereas, the operator must follow FAR Parts
91 and 121 when operating the aircraft. Part 25 rules do not imply operating
procedures, techniques, or requirements. Even though this section
describes the rules in Part 25, there is no obligation to operate the aircraft in
this manner other than observing the resulting aircraft limitations.
In following the operating rules, one must identify the applicability of each
rule. For instance, many of the requirements of Part 121 apply only at
dispatch. Other FAR requirements apply at all times as do the AFM
limitations. For example, FAR 121.195 prohibit dispatch unless, allowing for
enroute fuel burn, the airplane will be capable of landing on 60% of the
available runway at the planned destination. The regulations do not,
however, prohibit the aircraft from landing at the destination when, upon
arrival, conditions have changed and more than 60% of the runway is
required. In this case, the aircraft must only be able to land on the effective
runway length as shown in the flight manual performance data.
Throughout this chapter a number of terms will be introduced. At the end of
the chapter is a glossary describing some of the terminology.

Takeoff Performance
Maximum Takeoff Weight
The Maximum Takeoff Weight for a given flight is the lightest of the:
• Climb Limit
• Field Length Limit
• Obstacle Limit
• Brake Energy Limit
• Tire Speed Limit, or
• Structural Takeoff Weight Limit
All of these limits, except for the structural limit, are defined by the
performance capability of the aircraft. The structural limit is based on the
weight capability of the aircraft structure.

Takeoff Performance System (TPS)


When calculating the Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW), TPS considers
three takeoff weight limits:
• Climb Limited Takeoff Weight (shown as CLIMB LIMIT)
• Runway Limited Takeoff Weight (shown as RWY) The runway limit is the
lighter of:
- Field Length limit
- Obstacle limit
- Brake Energy limit
- Tire Speed limit
• Maximum Takeoff Weight - AFM (shown as STRUCT WT LIMIT)
TPS will not allow the Planned Takeoff Weight (PTOW) to exceed these
limits for the planned ambient conditions. Each weight limit is shown in the
Airport Analysis section of the TPS as depicted below.

Takeoff Weight Limits


Climb Limit
Climb Limit is the maximum weight, based on temperature and pressure
altitude, that will satisfy all of the following minimum climb gradients with one
engine inoperative. Generally the second segment is the most limiting. A
gradient is the height gained divided by distance traveled in still air.
These takeoff limits are based on an engine loss shortly before V1. The initial
climb profile is divided into segments as shown.

Takeoff Segment Required Climb Gradient


1st Segment Positive
2nd Segment 2.4 %
3rd Segment (Acceleration / Transition) 1.2 %
Final Climb Segment 1.2 %

NOTE
The 3rd segment (acceleration / transition) is assumed to be level
acceleration. However the aircraft must be capable of a 1.2% climb
during the entire segment.

• Accelerate on both engines to an engine failure speed (VEF), recognize


the failure, reject the takeoff, and stop within the remaining runway
and/or stopway with one engine inoperative (accelerate-stop distance).
The engine failure speed is a prescribed speed slightly slower than V1.
During certification, maximum braking and speed brakes are used.
Thrust reversers are not used. However the thrust reversers should be
used in the case of a rejected takeoff.
• Accelerate on both engines to an engine failure speed (VEF), and
continue the takeoff, with one engine inoperative, to a point 35 feet
above the runway and within the remaining runway and/or clearway
(accelerate-go distance). If a clearway is used, at least half of the
distance beyond lift-off must be over the runway.
• Takeoff, with all engines operating, to a point 35 feet above the runway
with a 15 % margin of runway remaining, including clearway (all-engine
distance). If a clearway is used, at least half of the distance beyond lift-off
must be over the runway.
To optimize the maximum takeoff weight, performance engineers choose the
V1 speed to make the accelerate-stop distance equal to the accelerate-go
distance. This will maximize the takeoff weight limit and is referred to as a
“balanced field”. However, due to various constraints, a balanced field is not
always possible. Therefore the takeoff data provided to the crew may not
necessarily be based on a balanced field.

Obstacle Limit is the maximum weight in which the “net” gradient clears all
obstacles by 35 feet.

"
O SS T"
GR "NE 35 ft
"

Obstacle Clearance
The “gross gradient” is the actual aircraft takeoff gradient with one engine
inoperative, based on takeoff weight, temperature, and pressure altitude.
The “net gradient” is the gross gradient minus 0.8%. Using a net gradient has
the effect of increasing the obstacle clearance margin by 0.8% times the
distance from the runway to the obstacle.
In the TPS system, the obstacle limit is included in the runway limit. The only
obstacles considered are obstructions located along the extended runway
centerline (straight out), up to the end of the 3rd segment. Or, in the case of
a published engine failure procedure, along the engine-out flight path. If a
turn is made away from the extended runway centerline, or the engine-out
flight path, obstacle clearance is not assured.
Brake Energy Limit is the maximum weight in which the aircraft is capable
of rejecting a takeoff and not exceed the kinetic energy absorption capability
of the brakes. In the TPS system, the brake energy limit is included in the
Runway limit.
Tire Speed Limit is the maximum weight in which the lift-off speed (VLOF)
will not exceed the maximum tire speed. In the TPS system, the tire speed
limit is included in the runway limit.
Structural Takeoff Weight Limit
Structural Takeoff Weight Limit is the maximum takeoff weight based on
aircraft structural concerns. Generally the structural takeoff weight limit is a
fixed weight, not dependent on temperature or pressure altitude.
20.5 PERFORMANCE - FAR PERF
19 JUL 17 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Takeoff Speeds
The takeoff speeds are defined as follows:
V1 is the takeoff action speed. It is the speed at which the engine is
assumed to fail (VEF) plus the speed gained during the interval between
engine failure and the instant in which the pilot recognizes and reacts to
the engine failure.
The engine failure speed (VEF) cannot be slower than VMCG. VMCG
(minimum control speed on the ground) is the minimum speed on the
ground in which it is possible to maintain control of the aircraft using the
rudder alone and continue the takeoff after a sudden engine failure.
VR is the rotation speed. It cannot be slower than V1, 105% of VMCA, or a
speed the results in a lift-off speed (VLOF) slower than VMU plus a
margin.
VMCA (minimum control speed in the air) is the minimum speed in which
it is possible to maintain control of the aircraft with one engine
inoperative and maintain straight flight with a bank angle less than 5
degrees.
VMU (minimum unstick speed) is the minimum speed in which the
aircraft can safely lift off the ground.
It must also be shown that rotating 5 knots slower than VR will not cause
the takeoff to exceed the runway length. Also, reasonably expected
variations in takeoff procedures should not result in unsafe flight
characteristics or in marked increases in the takeoff distance.
V2 is the takeoff safety speed. It must not be slower than 1.2 Vs (stall
speed), or 110% of VMCA.

Takeoff Thrust
Takeoff thrust is the maximum certified takeoff thrust for the temperature and
pressure altitude. Each of the thrust ratings (22K, 24K, 26K, 27K Bump, TO2,
TO1 & TO) are certified maximum takeoff thrust.
The B737 has two methods to extend engine life and reduce engine
maintenance costs by reducing takeoff thrust, variable thrust ratings, and use
of standard thrust. In most cases the two methods will be used in
combination.
Variable thrust ratings utilizes certified takeoff performance based on a
number of takeoff thrust levels. Whereas standard thrust uses an assumed
temperature to reduce thrust. For most takeoffs, the aircraft takeoff weight is
substantially lighter than the maximum weight limit. In this case, it is
permitted to reduce the thrust used for takeoff by using either or both means.
The advantage of the variable thrust ratings is that a lower thrust rating can
be used in those cases which require maximum takeoff thrust (i.e. MEL/CDL
items). Further, The FARs only allow a 25% reduction when using standard
thrust. If standard thrust is used in conjunction with a lower thrust rating, the
takeoff thrust reduction limit of 25% is off of the lower rating.
20.6 PERFORMANCE - FAR PERF
23 JUL 14 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Engine-Out Acceleration Height


The takeoff profile following an engine failure after V1 includes a segment of
acceleration and flap / slat retraction. The FARs require that the minimum
engine-out acceleration altitude can not be lower than an altitude to clear all
obstacles, or 400 ft, whichever is higher.
The maximum engine-out acceleration altitude is constrained by the takeoff
thrust time limit (5 minutes for the B737). The aircraft must have completed
the acceleration and flap / slat retraction before five minutes has expired. The
maximum engine-out acceleration height is dependent on aircraft weight,
airport pressure altitude, and temperature.
The engine-out acceleration may be any altitude between these minimum
and maximum altitudes. To maintain consistent procedures, the engine-out
acceleration was chosen as 1000 ft AFL, or the obstacle clearance altitude,
whichever is higher. The obstacle clearance altitude is defined by the altitude
necessary to clear any obstacles. An illustration is shown below.

Distance

The obstacle clearance altitude is equal to the height of the obstacle, plus 35
ft, plus 0.008 (0.8%) times the distance from the runway to the obstacle. The
point on the runway from which this distance is measured is the point where
the aircraft is assumed to reach 35 ft after an engine failure at V1.
Because the lift-off point on the runway changes with thrust rating, flap
setting, and intersection takeoff point, the distance to the obstacle, and
hence the EO ACCEL ALT will change.
The EO ACCEL ALT is shown on the TPS in both AFL and MSL.
20.7 PERFORMANCE - FAR PERF
30 OCT 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Other Takeoff Considerations


Enroute and landing performance can also limit the takeoff weight. In this
case, takeoff weight is limited to protect performance requirements occurring
later in the operation of the flight. Enroute performance requirements are
discussed later in this section.
Maximum Takeoff Weight limited by Maximum Landing Weight ensures
that the maximum landing weight is not exceeded when landing at the
destination airport. It is determined by adding the Maximum Landing Weight
at the destination to the flight plan fuel burn.
Wind. The effects of tailwind component on takeoff must be included in
takeoff performance computations. The FARs require that tailwind
component must be multiplied by 150%. This factor is already included in the
tailwind corrections shown in TPS data.
The affects of the headwind component can be used to increase the
maximum takeoff weight. The FARs only allow 50% of the headwind
component to be used. Like the tailwind correction, this factor is already
included in the headwind corrections shown in the TPS data.
Normally, only the tailwind penalty is used. For takeoff with a tailwind, the
correction is mandatory. In the case of a headwind, since this is a positive
correction, its use is optional. When maximum performance is needed to
carry the payload, consider the use of the headwind correction and
coordinate with the load planner. The load planner in only allowed to use half
of the headwind on his/her own. However, the captain may authorize the load
planner to use the full headwind component as determined by the captain.
Runway Slope is required to be included in the takeoff performance
computations. Uphill slopes increase the ground run required to reach
takeoff speed, but improves stopping distance. Once an aircraft is in the air,
uphill slopes require a greater distance to reach the 35 foot point. The
reverse is true of downhill slopes. The effects of runway slope are accounted
for in the TPS maximum takeoff weights.
Intersection Takeoffs
For intersection takeoffs, TPS will use a runway designation that has a letter
appended to it. The takeoff data will be based on the shortened length and
airport notes will define the intersection. The takeoff distance shown on the
TPS may be shorter, more conservative, than the declared distance
published by the airport. This is due to the method AA uses to determine the
takeoff distance.
It is permissible to use data based on an intersection takeoff when taking off
using the full length of the runway, or a preceding (longer takeoff distance)
intersection.
20.8 PERFORMANCE - FAR PERF
30 OCT 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Runway Distances
Takeoff Run Available (TORA) The runway length declared available and
suitable for the ground run of an airplane taking off. The TORA is typically the
physical length of the runway, but it may be shorter than the runway length if
necessary to satisfy runway design standards. For example, the TORA may
be shorter than the runway length if a portion of the runway must be used to
satisfy runway protection zone requirements.
Takeoff Distance Available (TODA) The takeoff run available plus the
length of any remaining runway or clearway beyond the far end of the takeoff
run available. “Clearway” is defined as an area beyond the takeoff end that
is clear of obstacles above a 1.25% sloped plane, not less than 250 feet wide
on each side of the extended runway centerline. This area must be approved
and controlled by the airport authority. AA does not normally take credit for
clearway.
Accelerate Stop Distance Available (ASDA) The runway plus stopway
length declared available and suitable for the acceleration and deceleration
of an airplane aborting a takeoff. “Stopway” is defined as a surface, no less
wide than the runway, centered on the runway, capable of supporting the
aircraft during a rejected takeoff, and is designated by the airport authority.
The ASDA may be longer than the physical length of the runway when a
stopway has been designated available by the airport operator, or it may be
shorter than the physical length of the runway if necessary to use a portion
of the runway to satisfy runway design standards; for example, where the
airport operator uses a portion of the runway to achieve the runway safety
area requirement. ASDA is the distance used to satisfy the airplane
accelerate-stop distance performance requirements. AA does not normally
take credit for a stopway.
Landing Distance Available (LDA) The runway length declared available
and suitable for a landing airplane. The LDA may be less than the physical
length of the runway or the length of the runway remaining beyond a
displaced threshold if necessary to satisfy runway design standards; for
example, where the airport operator uses a portion of the runway to achieve
the runway safety area requirement.
NOTE
For LAHSO operations, the term “Available Landing Distance (ALD)”
is used for that portion of the runway available for landing and rollout
for aircraft cleared for LAHSO. This distance is measured from the
landing threshold to the hold short point.
Runway design standards may impose restrictions on the amount of
runway available for use in takeoff and landing that are not apparent from the
reported physical length of the runway or from runway markings and lighting.
The runway elements of Runway Safety Area (RSA), Runway Object Free
Area (ROFA), and Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) may reduce a runway's
declared distances to less than the physical length of the runway at
geographically constrained airports (see example on following page). When
considering the amount of runway available for use in takeoff or landing
performance calculations, the declared distances published for a runway
must always be used in lieu of the runway's physical length.
20.9 PERFORMANCE - FAR PERF
30 OCT 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Runway Safety Area (RSA) The RSA is centered on the runway centerline,
and must be; cleared, drained, capable, under dry conditions, of supporting
snow removal equipment, Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF)
equipment, and the occasional passage of aircraft without causing damage
to the aircraft, and free of objects, except for objects that need to be located
in the RSA because of their function. Objects higher than 3 inches must be
frangible.
EMAS is an alternative that can be considered to mitigate overruns at
airports when a full-dimension RSA is not practicable due to natural
obstacles, local development, and/or environmental constraints. EMAS may
also be used to maximize runway length.
While some runway elements associated with declared distances may be
identifiable through runway markings or lighting (for example, a displaced
threshold or a stopway), the individual declared distance limits are not
marked or otherwise identified on the runway. An aircraft is not prohibited
from operating beyond a declared distance limit during the takeoff, landing,
or taxi operation provided the runway surface is appropriately marked as
usable runway. The following example clarifies the intent of this paragraph.

The LDA for runway 9 is less than the physical runway length, not only
because of the displaced threshold, but also because of the subtractions
necessary to meet the RSA beyond the far end of the runway. However,
during the actual landing operation, it is permissible for the airplane to roll
beyond the unmarked end of the LDA.
The ASDA for runway 9 is less than the physical length of the runway due to
subtractions necessary to achieve the RSA requirement. However, in the
event of an aborted takeoff, it is permissible for the airplane to roll beyond the
unmarked end of the ASDA as it is brought to a full stop on the remaining
usable runway.

If the LDA is equal to the physical length of the runway, the Jeppesen
“ADDITIONAL RUNWAY INFORMATION” will show a blank box under
“LANDING BEYOND Threshold.” If the runway has a displaced landing
threshold, and the LDA is not shortened by an RSA, the LDA will be shown
under “LANDING BEYOND Threshold.”
If the LDA is shortened due to an RSA, the Jeppesen airport diagram will
show the LDA in one of two ways, as shown in the examples below. In the
first example, the distance “LANDING BEYOND Threshold” shows the
distance from the displaced threshold to the physical end of the runway. The

Rejected Takeoff Considerations


The Go / No-Go Decision
Every takeoff has the potential for a rejected takeoff (RTO). An RTO close to
V1 must use maximum deceleration to stop on the remaining runway. The
most critical condition is an engine failure close to V1 at a weight near
the Runway Limited Takeoff Weight.
Factors Affecting Go / No-Go Decisions
The decision to continue or reject a takeoff rests solely with the Captain. The
RTO decision must be made, and appropriate procedures initiated, before
reaching V1 so that deceleration begins at or before V1.
Stopping ability is directly dependent on the kinetic energy which increases
as a square of the ground speed. A change in speed has a greater impact on
kinetic energy than a proportional change in weight. A 10% increase in speed
increases kinetic energy by approximately 21%, while a 10% increase in
takeoff weight only increases kinetic energy by 10%.
V1
V1 is the end of the Go / No-Go decision process, not the beginning.
• If brakes have not been applied by V1, the go decision has been made
by default.
• If an engine failure is recognized and maximum braking applied no later
than V1, an RTO can be accomplished on the remaining runway.
• If an engine failure is recognized at or after V1, the takeoff can be
continued with a climb to 35 feet before reaching the end of the runway.
Braking Force
Tests show that pilots frequently do not apply maximum braking when
executing an RTO. Furthermore, a pilot is likely to apply brakes the same as
in a normal landing, that is, after retarding the throttles and extending the
spoilers, thus delaying braking action. Braking is the primary stopping
force and should be applied simultaneously with the closing of
throttles first, followed by spoilers and reverse thrust.
Reverse thrust is not used in computing stopping performance. Therefore, if
reversers are used in an actual RTO, the aircraft will stop in a shorter
distance.
In a high speed RTO with a blown tire, the aircraft may not stop on the
runway because of lack of braking on the blown tire. Adjacent tires may also
fail during the RTO, further degrading stopping ability.
Attempting to maintain directional control with differential braking also
reduces total braking force, increasing the stopping distance.

Consequences of an Early or Late Go / No-Go Decision


When takeoff weight is at or near the Runway Limited Takeoff Weight (due
to field length, not obstacle clearance), the balanced field length approaches
the available runway. In this scenario:
• An RTO past V1 (late decision) results in the aircraft unable to stop on
the remaining runway. Delaying an RTO 4 to 6 knots beyond V1
(approximately 1 second) may cause the aircraft to leave the end of the
runway at approximately 70 knots or more. The shaded area shows that
anything less than maximum deceleration significantly increases that
speed.
• Conversely, an engine failure prior to V1, coupled with a decision to
continue the takeoff (early decision), results in less than 35 feet
clearance at the end of the runway.

Takeoff Obstacle Clearance


Engine Failure
The loss of an engine must be considered for every takeoff. The associated
loss of performance can result in close proximity to obstacles/terrain.
Situational awareness of surrounding obstacles and terrain can be gained
by reviewing the Jeppesen 10-1 page, if available, and approach charts.
Strict adherence to any published engine out procedures is essential.
Reference OM Volume 1 or QRH for fleet-specific engine out procedures.
Basic considerations when evaluating obstacles
Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) require operators to adjust maximum
allowable takeoff weights to ensure obstacle/terrain clearance assuming an
engine failure at V1. The aircraft must clear all obstacles/terrain in the flight
path by the horizontal splay (outlined below) and vertical margins specified
in the FARs.
The vertical margin begins 35 ft. above the departure end of the runway,
increasing incrementally with distance from the runway.
The lateral boundary accounts for factors such as crosswind (some
procedures may indicate a maximum crosswind) and piloting variables. It
begins with a width of 300 feet on either side of the extended runway
centerline, expanding to 2000 feet for straight-out flight path, or 3000 feet
for a turning flight path.
The same lateral criteria for takeoff is used for both engine out missed
approach and go-around obstacle analysis while the vertical clearance used
is a minimum climb gradient requirement of 2.1% at MLW.

Procedures which involve more than a simple turn have a more complex
analysis which considers the type and accuracy of the specified navigation.
When a reduced assessment area is required, an RNP value between 0.1
and 0.3 RNP will be used and indicated on the XX-7E page.
Minimum Safe Altitude/Terrain Clearance
The lateral course for engine out takeoff and engine out missed approach
should be straight-out along the extended runway centerline or follow
XX-7E page engine failure departure path, if published. The crew must also
comply with aircraft-specific engine failure clean up procedures. After
reaching the acceleration altitude published on the TPS (or per OM Volume
1 engine-out go-around procedures) and when flaps are retracted, climb at
20.14 PERFORMANCE - FAR PERF
30 OCT 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

minimum maneuvering airspeed (the UP bug) until at or above published


procedure altitude or a minimum safe altitude for current location (MSA,
minimum altitude for procedure segment, MEA, Grid MORA, ATC assigned
altitude, etc.) and consistent with the plan of action (e.g., diversion, return to
airport, etc.).
Mountainous Terrain
Departures in mountainous terrain may be complex requiring a thorough
briefing to maintain situational awareness. Engine out procedures in
mountainous terrain may result in flight paths in close proximity to terrain.
This proximity may result in EGPWS alerts. The minimum obstruction
clearances for engine out are less than the minimum clearances within
EGPWS alert logic. Also, the EGPWS uses the current aircraft track and
does not account for turns on the engine out procedure. Good situational
awareness is essential to determine the correct course of action to address
an EGPWS alert during engine failure.
Considerations for a Holding Pattern
Holding patterns are considered to provide obstacle/terrain clearance and
can be a efficient means to gain altitude when continuing a climb straight
out past 25nm is not desirable. (e.g., if the plan is to return to land.) A flight
crew defined holding pattern may be used for these same reasons when a
hold is not published (example, straight out procedure). In this case, the
location and direction of the hold along the path, is at pilot's discretion.
When possible, holding patterns will use a direct entry to minimize the time
to get established in the hold and begin a climb to a safe altitude for
continued flight. When possible, the holding pattern will be aligned with a
published hold or a portion of an approach. Any published holding altitude
will provide adequate obstacle/terrain clearance within the holding airspace.
This can be obtained from the Jeppesen chart. If there is no published
holding altitude, obstacle/terrain clearance in the holding pattern is
predicated on the assumption that the aircraft continue the climb profile until
reaching the holding fix. This holding altitude would be at the flight crew's
discretion based on intention to return to land or diversion to an alternate
airport.
Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW)/Maximum Landing Weight
The MTOW is calculated to clear all of the obstacles along the extended
runway centerline, or the engine failure path if published. The maximum
landing weight is used for the analysis for single engine missed approach.
Engine Failure Procedures
All TPS takeoff performance data is assessed against obstacle/terrain
clearance for engine failure. Single engine performance is assessed against
obstacle/terrain clearance for all runways used by American Airlines at
regular, alternate, and charter airports. Takeoff engine failure analysis
assumes an engine failure at V1. The engine failure analysis for missed
approach assumes a go-around at the missed approach point.

Types of Engine Failure Procedures


• Straight Out
• Turn
• Engine-out SID (EO SID)
If a XX-7E Engine Failure procedure (Turn or EO SID), is not published, the
engine failure procedure is straight out. Reference "Engine Failure
Procedure - Straight" below. If the procedure is not straight out, a XX-7E
page will be published.
Engine Failure Procedure-Straight
When obstacles do not impose a significant weight penalty or safety
concern, a straight out engine failure procedure is used. Fly runway
centerline track using TRACK (if available) or HDG SELECT (with
consideration for known crosswind). Obstacle/terrain analysis for a straight
out engine failure procedure extends 25 miles from the runway end or when
the aircraft is calculated to be at a minimum safe altitude. Maintain runway
track/heading until able to verify clearance from obstacles/terrain, or when
in a radar environment, ATC issues a radar vector within the Minimum
Vectoring Altitude. After reaching a minimum safe altitude request ATC
clearance back to departure airport or proceed enroute to an alternate
airport.
Engine Failure Procedure-Turn
If obstacles/terrain prevent a straight out procedure, a turn procedure is
developed when possible. A XX-7E page is published describing the
procedure. After reaching a minimum safe altitude request ATC clearance
back to departure airport or proceed enroute to an alternate airport.
Engine-Out SID (EO SID)
When multiple turns or course guidance is required to avoid
obstacles/terrain, an Engine-Out SID is developed to assist the crew in
navigating a path around the obstacles/terrain. EO SIDs are available in the
FMS navigation database and have the advantage of increasing situational
awareness by depicting the course on navigation displays and allowing the
use of aircraft automation to reduce workload. After reaching a minimum
safe altitude request ATC clearance back to departure airport or proceed
enroute to an alternate airport.
In some cases, a MORA may be published on the XX-7E page. This is
provided for information only and represents the highest grid MORA within
the charted plan view. It may not be necessary to climb to this altitude,
depending on the minimum safe altitude required for the plan of action.
Use of RNAV / RNP EO SIDs and Missed Approach Procedures
Whenever an EO SID uses an RNP value less than 0.3, Dispatch will
perform a RAIM check to verify GPS integrity is adequate to fly the
procedure. These RNP EO SIDs are infrequently used and reserved for
those airports where obstacle/terrain clearance require this navigation
precision.

Engine Failure When Not on Engine Failure Track


If an engine failure occurs after takeoff or missed approach and the aircraft
is not on the track of the Engine-out Procedure, do not turn towards the
engine out procedure unless obstacle/terrain clearance is assured. Use
best judgment and available information to avoid obstacles/terrain. If
available, request radar vectors or avoid obstacles/terrain visually or with
EGPWS.

30 OCT 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Improved Performance
Performance Limits
TPS shows two performance limits, Climb, and Runway. Both of these limits
are calculated using the performance information generated by the
manufacturer.
The Climb Limit requires excess thrust with one engine inoperative
throughout the takeoff phase from lift-off to the end of the final climb
segment. In other words, the climb limit weight ensures that thrust will always
be greater than drag. This is specified by the FARs as a required climb
gradient capability for each segment of the takeoff profile.
The Runway Limit ensures that there is sufficient runway length for the
aircraft to either reject the takeoff and stop on the runway, or continue the
takeoff with an engine failure just before V1. On the TPS, the runway limit
also includes limitations for obstacle clearance, brake energy, and tire
speed, all of the items based on the takeoff runway.
V2 Speed
The FARs require V2 to have a 20% margin above the stall speed. But there
is no upper limit to V2. The operator can choose any V2 speed if it is equal
to or faster than 1.2 Vs. Generally the V2 speed is set to the minimum of 1.2
Vs. This usually gives the best performance considering the climb and
runway limits.
There are cases in which a faster V2 will increase the overall performance
capability of the aircraft. Any increase in the V2 speed will result in a better
climb gradient or heavier climb limit weight. But, as all things in life, it comes
with a cost. The faster V2 speed requires a longer runway. When the climb
limit weight is lighter than the runway limit weight, there is excess runway.
For these cases, a faster V2 will increase the maximum takeoff weight by
increasing the climb limit weight. This is “Improved Performance”.

Improved Performance

Basic Performance

Climb Gradient

V Speeds

Improved Performance is simply using a faster V2 speed to achieve a


heavier maximum takeoff weight. The faster V2 will increase the climb
capability of the aircraft and therefore increase the climb limited weight. In
some cases it will also increase the obstacle limited weight. Along with the
faster V2, V1 and VR are also increased accordingly. This is all done within
the FAR performance requirements, and are certified by the manufacturer.
20.18 PERFORMANCE - FAR PERF
30 OCT 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

TPS Weight Limits


For Improved Performance, the V-speeds are adjusted to raise the climb limit
and lower the runway limit. The optimum Improved Performance is achieved
when the two limits cross, both the climb limit and runway limit weights are
equal. Because of this, only one limiting weight is shown. This one number
combines both the Climb Limit and the Runway Limit. Generally this
Improved Performance limiting weight will be heavier than the normal climb
limit because it is based on using faster V-speeds. See the example TPS
below.
In this example, the Climb Limit is increased from 156.2 to 157.8 by using
Improved Performance. But the Runway Limit is reduced from 158.0 to
157.8. Overall the maximum takeoff weight is increased from 156.2 to 157.8.

Improved Performance will only be used when the normal performance limits
cannot accommodate the takeoff weight. Because of this, Improved
Performance will only be used with Max 26K, 27K Bump, or TO Thrust.
Normally Improved Performance will only be available with BLD OFF. At
some high elevation airports, it will be available with BLD ON.
Since the V-speeds are increased, the normal V-speeds in the manual

Standard Thrust
Introduction
All jet engines are designed to operate from idle thrust to a certified
maximum thrust rating. The temperature surge from idle to takeoff thrust is
the biggest cause of engine wear; specifically, it causes engine core (hot
section) metal fatigue. The greater the temperature differential from idle to
MAX, the greater the wear. Consequently, reducing the core temperature at
takeoff thrust reduces wear, prolongs engine life and can reduce the risk of
engine failure.
Standard Thrust Concepts
Often, aircraft weight is significantly lighter than maximum takeoff limited
weight (lighter of climb and runway limited weights) which will allow takeoff
at a lower thrust setting. In these cases, American uses reduced or
"Standard" Thrust for takeoff. Standard Thrust simply converts excess
takeoff performance into a lower takeoff thrust setting, thereby enhancing
engine reliability and reducing maintenance costs.
Computing Standard Thrust
To calculate the Standard Takeoff Thrust Setting, the "assumed
temperature" method is used. Using this method, the standard thrust setting
is computed assuming an ambient temperature higher than actual. To do this
TPS first takes the Planned Takeoff Weight (PTOW) plus 2000 lbs. This is
the Assumed Takeoff Weight (ATOW). The 2000 lbs is simply a conservative
weight buffer. TPS then determines the highest temperature at which the
ATOW can be accommodated without exceeding the CLIMB or RWY weight
limit. This temperature is the Assumed Temperature (AT). TPS then looks up
the takeoff thrust setting for the AT and Pressure Altitude.

30 OCT 18 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

The chart illustrates a case where MAX Thrust is not required because the
PTOW is well below the RWY or Climb Limited Weights. The chart shows
that Standard Thrust provides the flexibility to handle variations in weights
and temperatures which allow operations up to ATOW and AT without the
need for new TPS computations.
When Standard Thrust is authorized, any operation in the shaded area
reduces costs and enhances engine reliability. If an engine failure occurs
while making a Standard Thrust takeoff, thrust on the remaining engine
ensures sufficient performance to meet all requirements.
Performance Margins with Standard Thrust
Several performance margins beyond the basic FAA requirements exist
when using Standard Thrust. Some or all of the following margins exist for
every Standard Thrust Takeoff:
• Minimum control speed accountability:
Since VMCG and VMCA speeds are based on MAX thrust, Standard
thrust provides extra margin for minimum control speeds. Engine thrust
may be increased from Standard to MAX without violating minimum
control speeds.
• Ambient Temperature / True Airspeed Margin:
The performance at the assumed temperature is predicated on longer
takeoff roll because of higher true airspeed (higher density altitude).
Since actual ambient temperature is colder (lower density altitude),
actual true airspeeds are slower. The result is less distance to reach V1,
VR, and V2.
• ATOW Buffer:
Every pound that the aircraft weight is below the 2000 lb ATOW buffer
translates into extra performance.
• Maximum AT:
FARs limit the amount of thrust reduction to 25% of Maximum Thrust.
When this limits the standard thrust usage, excess performance exists.
Limitations on the use of Standard Thrust
There are conditions which prohibit using Standard Thrust for takeoff. TPS
recognizes and prohibits standard thrust in some cases and subsequently
produces a statement indicating Standard Thrust is not authorized and the
reason. However, some conditions prohibiting standard thrust are not
recognized by TPS. The TPS section has a complete list of these items. It is
the Captain’s responsibility to ensure that no condition exists that
prohibits the use Standard Thrust even though it appears on the TPS.

High Altitude Takeoffs


Aircraft Performance Characteristics
Two factors degrade aircraft performance at high altitude:
• Available thrust is reduced.
• True air speed (TAS) and ground speed (GS) are higher for a given
indicated air speed (lAS).

V1 for Takeoff on a Wet Runway


The FARs requiring a wet runway correction allows the “screen height” (the
height above the runway end in the event of an engine failure shortly after
V1) to be reduced from 35 to 15 feet. This allows the V1 to be reduced without
a large weight penalty.

Takeoffs on Runways Contaminated By Standing Water,


Slush, Snow, or Ice
Takeoff performance data for operations on runways contaminated by
standing water, slush, snow, and ice is governed by an advisory circular. This
advisory circular, in essence, states that the operator should follow the
manufacturers recommendations. All aircraft manufacturers publish data for
contaminated runways. However, this data is only advisory and not certified.
It is important to note that takeoff performance on contaminated runways is
not an exact science. Many variables are present to affect the takeoff
acceleration, and in the case of a rejected takeoff, a deceleration to stop the
aircraft. Included with the contaminated runway performance data is a list of
assumptions made in computing the performance corrections. A pilot must
use his / her judgement in order to appropriately apply the performance
corrections.
V1
The CRC/MEL program also uses a reduced screen height similar to the Wet
Runway corrections.
Whenever the actual takeoff weight is lighter than the MTOW, the CRC/MEL
program will further reduce V1 to increase the stopping margin.

Enroute Performance
Introduction
This section contains the FAR performance regulations concerning the
enroute portion of the flight. These account for an engine loss in cruise.
The FARs contain special provisions for twin-engine turbojet aircraft
operated over a route that contains a point farther than 1 hour flying time (in
still air at normal cruising speed with one engine inoperative) from an
adequate airport. These special provisions are referred to as ETOPS
(Extended Range Twin Engine Operations).American Airlines does not
operate the B737 under ETOPS and this topic will not be discussed here.

Engine-Out Enroute Regulations


For all flights, the FARs require one of the two following criteria must be met.
• The single engine net gradient capability of the aircraft will allow level
flight 1000 feet above all terrain and obstructions within 5 statute miles
on each side of the intended track. And, the aircraft must be capable of
maintaining 1500 feet above the airport where the aircraft is assumed to
land after an engine fails.
• The single engine net flight path (drift-down) allows the aircraft to
continue flight from the most critical point at cruising altitude, to an airport
clearing all terrain and obstructions, within 5 statute miles of the intended
track, by 2000 feet vertically. And, the aircraft must be capable of
maintaining 1500 feet above the airport where the aircraft lands after an
engine fails. The airport at which the aircraft is assumed to land must be
declared on the dispatch release as an enroute alternate, meet the
landing length requirements, and meet alternate weather minima.

23 JUL 14 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

In determining the performance capability of the aircraft, “net performance”


must be used. Net performance is computed by subtracting 1.1% climb
gradient from the single engine climb capability of the aircraft. This has the
effect of adding a safety margin.
When using driftdown data, it is important to distinguish the basis of the data,
net versus gross. The engine out data shown in the Emergency / Abnormal
section is based on “gross” or actual performance. The dispatch data used
by the flight planning system is for dispatch over high terrain and is based on
“net” performance as specified in the FARs.
Except for flight over high terrain, the first criteria can usually be met. For
flight over high terrain such as the Rocky Mountains, the second criteria
(drift-down) must be followed. The FPS (Flight Planning System) contains
the appropriate logic and performance data to ensure compliance with these
regulations. The FPS logic first checks compliance with criteria 1. If it is not
possible, it then finds enroute alternate airports to satisfy compliance with
criteria 2. The Cruise section contains an explanation of the FPS output.

Actual Engine Failure


In the event of an actual enroute engine failure, the FARs still require the
aircraft to land at the nearest suitable airport. There is no obligation to land
at a declared enroute alternate airport.

Approach and Landing Performance


Maximum Landing Weight
The maximum landing weight is the lightest (most limiting) of the following
maximum landing weights:
• Structural Landing Weight Limit
• Approach Climb Limit
• Landing Climb Limit
• Landing Field Length (Runway) Limit
These limiting weights are described below. In the Landing Section, only one
climb limited weight is shown. It is the most restrictive (lightest) of the
approach climb or landing climb limit.
Structural Landing Weight Limit
Structural Landing Weight Limit is the maximum landing weight based on
aircraft structural limitations. It is an AFM limitation and shown in the
limitations section.
Approach Climb Limit
Approach Climb Limit is the maximum weight, for temperature and pressure
altitude at which the aircraft can achieve the following gradient in the
configuration listed:
• 2.1% climb gradient.
• Approach Flaps.
• Landing gear retracted.
• One engine inoperative, and the remaining engine at go-around thrust.
• The approach speed cannot exceed 1.5 Vs (stall speed for approach
flaps).
For each landing flap position, the manufacturer designates an approach flap
position. The approach climb limit weight for a particular landing flap position
is then based on the designated approach flap. The stall speed for the
approach flap position cannot exceed the stall speed for the related landing
flap position by more than 110%.
The Approach Climb Limit is an FAR limiting weight calculation and does not
necessarily represent the normal go-around procedure.

Landing Climb Limit is the maximum weight, for temperature and pressure
altitude at which the aircraft can achieve the following gradient in the

• Landing Flaps.
• Landing gear extended.
• Both engines at the thrust that is available eight seconds after initiation of
movement of the thrust controls from the minimum flight idle to the
go-around thrust setting.
• The speed cannot exceed 1.3 Vs (stall speed).
Landing Field Length (Runway) Limit
Landing Field Length (Runway) Limit is the maximum weight in which the
aircraft can land from a point 50 feet above the runway and come to a full
stop within 60% of the landing distance available. In demonstrating the
landing lengths, the speed over the threshold must be VREF.

15% longer. For alternate airports, this 15% is not required.
FM Part I lists the weather characteristics defining a wet runway.
At time of dispatch, when forecast visibility is less than 3/4 mile or RVR 4000,
15% must be added to the required landing length regardless of the runway
condition. This 15% is not necessary for the assessment at time of landing.
40.3 PERFORMANCE - FAR PERF
23 JUL 14 B737 Operations Manual, Volume I

Approach and Landing Considerations


In the flare, excess airspeed causes the aircraft to float as much as 200 feet
per knot, adding significantly to landing distance. If this excess speed is
carried to touchdown, stopping distance is only extended by 20-30 feet per
knot on a dry runway, or 40-50 feet per knot on a wet runway. Thus, at VREF
+ 20 kts you may float as much as 4000 feet down the runway, or you can fly
the aircraft on to a wet runway and increase landing distance by only
800-1000 feet. If the approach speed is a little fast, it is much more effective
to decelerate on the ground than float to touchdown (see figure).
Other factors which increase landing distance are glide-path control and flare
technique. Being two dots high on the glide slope at the middle marker
through touchdown, can increase landing distance by 1100 feet. Attempting
to "grease" the landing by floating also increases the landing distance.
At high speeds, thrust reversers and speed brakes constitute approximately
80% of the total deceleration capability, brakes provide the remaining 20%.
This makes thrust reversers and speed brakes critical when landing on a
slippery runway. Wheel brakes become more effective as aircraft speed is
reduced, providing 70% to 95% of the low speed stopping force. Rubber
deposits on the last 2000 to 3000 feet of runway can degrade braking
effectiveness, even when dry, so it’s important to decelerate as quickly as
possible after touchdown.

High Altitude / Hot Temperature Landings


The Climb Limited Landing Weight at high altitude or hot temperature
airports is dependent on the aircraft’s climb performance in approach and
landing configurations. A reduced flap setting maybe required for landing.
If Landing Flaps are reduced, required runway is increased, emphasizing the
importance of correct landing speed, touchdown point and deceleration.
Landing distance increases approximately 3 1/2% for every 1000 feet of
elevation above sea level. At 5000 feet MSL, kinetic energy is approximately
16% greater for the same landing speed compared to sea level because of

Missed Approach or Go-Around


When an "Engine Failure or Engine Out Missed Approach Procedure"
(go-around) is provided, it should be flown at, or above, the Minimum
Descent Altitude (MDA) or Decision Height (DH) to ensure terrain clearance.
Terrain clearance is not guaranteed when executing a missed
approach after the missed approach point.
Landing Summary
Total landing distance is the sum of the air and ground distances. The pilot
controls air distance by flying correct airspeed, glide-path, and landing in the
touchdown zone. Ground distance, is made up of two parts: ground distance
and runway condition. The pilot controls ground distance with touchdown
speed and braking technique; the runway condition cannot be controlled.
Landing on a short runway or a runway covered by snow, slush, ice or
standing water requires careful analysis and skill. Understanding runway
conditions and braking action reports, can assist in planning for these
situations.

Landing Performance Assessments at Time of Arrival


An airplane legally dispatched in compliance with the FARs alone does not
ensure that the airplane can safely land within the distance available on the
runway actually used for landing in the conditions that exist at the time of
arrival, particularly if the runway, runway surface condition, meteorological
conditions, airplane configuration, airplane weight, or use of airplane ground
deceleration devices is different than that assumed at dispatch.
The FAA recommends that operators of turbojet airplanes have procedures
for flightcrews to assess landing performance based on conditions actually
existing at time of arrival, as distinct from conditions presumed at time of
dispatch. Those conditions include weather, runway conditions, the
airplane’s weight, and braking systems to be used. Once the actual landing
distance is determined an additional safety margin of at least 15% should be
added to that distance. Except under emergency conditions flightcrews
should not attempt to land on runways that do not meet the assessment
criteria and safety margins as specified shown here. The FAA considers a
15% margin to be the minimum acceptable safety margin.
The landing distance assessment should be accomplished as close to the
time of arrival as practicable, taking into account workload considerations
during critical phases of flight, using the most up-to-date information
available at that time.
The most adverse braking condition, based on reliable braking reports or
runway contaminant reports (or expected runway surface conditions if no
reports are available) for the portion of the runway that will be used for the
landing, should be used in the actual landing performance assessment. For
example, if the runway surface condition is reported as medium to poor, or
medium in the middle, but poor at the ends, the runway surface condition
should be assumed to be poor for the assessment of the actual landing
distance. (This example assumes the entire runway will be used for the
landing). If conditions change between the time that the assessment is made
and the time of landing, the flightcrew should consider whether it would be
safer to continue the landing or reassess the landing distance.
This guidance is independent of the dispatch requirements for landing
performance.
This guidance does not apply to Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO).

Glossary
(TPS terms shown in bold type)
Airport Analysis Maximum takeoff weight data. Based on Maximum Thrust
for specified runways, selected flap settings and
temperatures from planned to planned plus 2°C.
AT Assumed Temperature. Used to calculate Standard
Thrust setting and Standard Thrust Vspeeds. It is the
maximum temperature at which the Assumed Takeoff
Weight (ATOW) can be accommodated for a specific
runway.
ATOW Assumed Takeoff Weight. Planned Takeoff Weight
(PTOW) plus 2000 lbs. It provides a weight for the use of
Standard Thrust and is used to determine Assumed
Temperature.
Climb gradients Gross gradient is the demonstrated ratio expressed as a
percentage of:
Change of Height
Horizontal Distance Traveled
Net gradient is the gross climb gradient reduced by an
amount required by regulation.
CLIMB LIMIT Climb Limited Takeoff Weight. Climb gradient limited
weight based on an engine failure during takeoff. It is not
affected by wind or flight path obstacles.
Cost Index (CI) A number relating the cost of time to the cost of fuel. It is
used by the FMS to determine the most economical cruise
speed based on a simplified cost model.
E/O ACCEL ALT Engine Out Acceleration Altitude is the altitude (shown on
the TPS in AFL and MSL) where the pilot should reduce
pitch, accelerate, and cleanup the aircraft following an
engine failure on takeoff after V1. E/O ACCEL ALT
ensures vertical clearance from the highest obstruction in
the takeoff flight path through third segment climb.
EOW Aircraft Empty Operating Weight. It includes flight and
cabin crews.
